I'll have to take a look at what claims the wiki is making... the
proper procedure to test from a snapshot should be a somewhat easy
one, with minor hoops:

1.) Grab the RPI3 image (-CURRENT only)
2.) Install u-boot-rpi4 from ports
3.) Mount the FAT partition from the RPI3 image, install u-boot.bin
from /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi4 (installed in step 2) and
replace config.txt with the config_rpi4.txt that's already located on
the FAT partition

One of the next U-Boot releases will support RPI3/4 concurrently in a
single binary, so we'll switch to using that if we have USB support by
that point; some of the above hoops are simply because we're not 100%
there yet.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
