networking running snapshots of arm64 on amd64 host

Hi,

I downloaded this snapshot:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/13.0-RC5/aarch64/Latest/FreeBSD-13.0-RC5-arm64-aarch64.qcow2.xz

then spun it up as per https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU like this:

# qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  \
         -bios edk2-aarch64-code.fd -serial telnet::4444,server
         -nographic \
         -drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
         -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
         -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
         -netdev user,id=net0

and it spins up fine. I can log into it over telnet to localhost on port
4444. But it has no routing, even if I go into /etc/rc.conf and apply a
valid ip, netmask and default gateway. What i'd like to know is,

1. is networking meant to work, from within the running vm?
2. if yes, how?

thanks,
