Has anyone successfully booted the "B+" model of RPi3 via any of 13.0-RC3/4/5?

Thanks for the reports.

Mike K.'s report was explicitly for a 1 GiByte RPi3B+.
The status for a 512 MiByte RPi3B+, would be good to
know.

So far, no one has reported any identified problem. So
it may be that the memsize problem for RPi3B+'s was
created after the 2021-Feb-25 firmware version now in
use by FreeBSD.
