Hi FreeBSD folks,

I recently got a PRi Zero W. It can boot with Raspbian. I'd like to try
FreeBSD on it. However, it halt at U-Boot prompt. And I cannot enter any
command by a USB keyboard. Please see attached photo.


​
I have tried several different images. All of them have the same issue.

1. official FreeBSD armv6-RPI-B image downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/12.0

2. RaspBSD armv6-12.0-RPI-B image downlaoded from:
http://download.raspbsd.org/

3. A self built image by using crochet (board configuration: RaspberryPi)

Did anyone install FreeBSD on your RPi 0 W? Any suggestions are welcome!
Thnaks!
