Writing 14-stable rpi image to usb3 (from another freebsd box), unplugging it
then plugging it into the usb3 port of the rpi4 then booting works for me.
Same goes for -current. This installation method creates MBR partitions with
all of freebsd on / which I don't want.

I wanted several ufs partitions (I don't want zfs at all) and GPT which is why 
I went down the bsdinstall route.

For some reason, copying the boot partition from the sd card and rebooting
to usb3 didn't work for me, the last time I tried it. It has worked in the past. 
That's when I entered the rabbit hole of trying the latest from pftf/RPi4.
