I have RC3 running on a 1 GB RPi3B+:
FreeBSD 13.0-RC3 #0 releng/13.0-n244696-8f731a397ad: Fri Mar 19 05:54:12 U=
TC 2021
root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERI=
C arm64
FreeBSD clang version 11.0.1 (git@github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git llvmorg=
-11.0.1-0-g43ff75f2c3fe)
VT(efifb): resolution 1824x984
module firmware already present!
real memory =3D 993841152 (947 MB)
avail memory =3D 947474432 (903 MB)
It has the same version of start4.elf that you cited. I haven't done
much testing on it though.
