You are doing a wonderful thing here because we all know that the RPi hardware is everywhere. You can throw a rock and hit three of them in almost any direction. However the install process with FreeBSD seems to be a nightmare. Not as terrible as RISC-V but certainly not trivial. I hope that the wiki docs can be polished up a little and I will be happy to test. I have a RPi5 standing by, in the box, waiting for some months. The serial console idea is really of value to me ... so ... gee I hope we can figure that out. There must be pins on it somewhere for real serial goodness.
