           Summary: [13.1-RC1] announce email has incorrect arm64 qemu
                    instructions
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People

"""
Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI
loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the
virtual machine images.  See this page for more information:

    https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU

To boot the VM image, run:

    % qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  \
        -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic \
        -drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
        -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
        -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
        -netdev user,id=net0

Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image.

There is no info on the wiki, but using:

/usr/local/share/qemu/edk2-aarch64-code.fd

from emulators/qemu did the job.

Can we amend it as follows:
