I boot from a USB3 SSD that has: # gpart show -p => 40 468862048 da0 GPT (224G) 40 2008 - free - (1.0M) 2048 413138944 da0p1 freebsd-ufs (197G) 413140992 9437184 da0p2 freebsd-swap (4.5G) 422578176 204800 da0p3 ms-basic-data (100M) 422782976 46079112 - free - (22G) The RPi4B finds start4.elf just fine. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
