Mark, you joker :-) lol Ha Ha 

I assume you know the RP4-Wiki-page is maintained by me and 
I assume that (from my last knowledge) 
NOBODY is implementing anything for RPI4-UEFI-dev- compatibility 
at the moment (except GregV who’s work was published by me in the Wiki). 
While not everybody knows that it’s a dev`s Wiki and not a release-information-website for working environments 
and user-support, it should be clear that things being in development(or not) are NOT marked as production ready in the Wiki.
Aarch64 will hold it’s Tier2-status in Fbsd 13, so many devs are busy on Tier1 or other platforms & things.
I know since months that RPI-UEFI-dev has a triple boot-option and that 
A lot oft things(including the kernel hang if booted(it boots!) in DeviceTree mode) DO NOT WORK.
At the time I wrote about rpi4-uefi-dev  RPI4-UEFI-dev didn’t even boot to the root-prompt in FreeBSD in ACPI-mode.
Again: the Wiki ISN`T a user’s support-site for working environments but I’m happy if it expands 
it`s popularity for all kind of users/devs, for everybody. (in best case people who want to help in developing or even of course in extending the Wiki) .
