Oh, OK.

The first line in the serial output when booting is:

RPi: BOOTSYS release VERSION:e02d33b3 DATE: 2023/12/06 TIME: 18:29:25

That date shows up in
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/blob/master/firmware-2712/release-notes.md
.

To see more, I probably have to boot Linux on it (or have a NetBSD
userland on USB...).
