Mine *will* boot, even after the eeprom upgrade. What it won't do (what was
always the case) is boot after I modify config.txt in any way at all.

I used these files, and the last time I made a working image I used
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20200917-17bd0444d91.img 

mount the msdos partition,

replace u-boot.bin, fixup4.dat, start4.elf

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/rpi4-8gbram-boot-fbsdonly/files/u-boot.bin/download
-O u-boot.bin

fetch https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/1.20200717/boot/fixup4.dat
fetch https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/1.20200717/boot/start4.elf

unmount the partition

it should boot.

I am using the same image (subsequently rebuilt world, kernel so it's at
r365898 now), I took out this sdcard, wrote raspios-64bit to another one, 
updated the eeprom, put back the freebsd card. It boots, just can't touch 
config.txt or or I get the raspberry problem (happened before the eeprom upgrade), 
if I try the different start4.elf & fixup4.dat, I get the rainbow screen.
