Getting RPi4b (8GB) to boot from a microSD card?

[Klaus Küchemann]

Hi Torfinn,

your eeprom is O.K., 
I have now checked the current upstream state of Firmware :
>> bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb
is meanwhile O.K. upstream , so I abandoned 
>> https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26853

What is currently NOT O.K: 
fixup4.dat AND start4.elf in upstream .

So you should be fine with reverting fixup4.dat AND start4.elf to older version.
If you don’t have compatible files available just now, 
You can download older versions here :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/d26853-bcm2711-rpi-4-b-dtb/files/ 
(inside the rpi4_pack_freebsd.zip)

This should boot up your rpi fro USB/SSD & of course give you access to your keyboard.

Regards
K.
