A Pi2B v1.1 running 
FreeBSD www.zefox.com 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #1 main-c634-gd03fd8ede2: Wed Jan  6 00:37:38 PST 2021     bob@www.zefox.com:/usr/obj/usr/freebsd-src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC-MMCCAM  arm

generates a flurry of output seemingly related to mass storage. It seems
indicative of some sort of communications problem, but the machine boots
and runs when all is said and done. This isn't new behavior and is common
to a Pi3 running arm64 in large part.

Seeming errors, all of which eventually just go away, include
Bus usb@7e980000: scanning bus usb@7e980000 for devices... unable to get device descriptor (error=-22)

and a flurry of 
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): daclose
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): daopen

messages, which eventually just go away. 

There is also much chatter related to
(mmcprobe0:sdhci_slot0:0:0:0): mmcprobe_start .....

but I believe that's correct and related to MMCCAM, present in the
kernel but (I think) absent in the Pi2B (not +) hardware. MMCCAM
was added in response to a request on the mailing list for testing. 

A complete transcript taken from the serial console is at

The system is a Pi2 V1.1 with its boot file system on an old USB2 hard
disk connected via powered hub. The microSD carries an msdos partition 
containing
drwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     4096 Jul  2  2020 EFI

The remainder of the microSD carries only a 1 GB swap partition.
There is neither mouse nor keyboard.

Thanks for reading, and any thoughts on the odd-looking messages.
