Thanks for the tip John (every day I learn en new thing ;-) )

netbsd-raspa4$ strings -8 RPI_EFI.fd
A0@9aJ#8c
hc8$hc8_
Built : 17:09:05, May 24 2023
v2.9(release):v2.9

mine corresponds to RPi4_UEFI_Firmware_v1.40.zip

v1.41 failed for me with arm64.img image but worked with arm64mbr.img

I reported the problem upstream

v1.42 works with arm64.img.

Regards.
