root@generic:~ # dmesg | grep VT
VT(efifb): resolution 592x448

VT: Replacing driver "efifb" with new "fb".

perhaps it is hdmi_safe mode?

root@generic:~ # grep hdmi /boot/msdos/config.txt
hdmi_safe=1

fix it:

root@generic:~ # grep hdmi /boot/msdos/config.txt
#hdmi_safe=1

reboot, check

VT(efifb): resolution 1824x984
fb0: <BCM2835 VT framebuffer driver> on simplebus0

better, add mode setting to /boot/msdos/config.txt

root@generic:~ # grep hdmi /boot/msdos/config.txt
#hdmi_safe=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

reboot, now it is

to /boot/msdos/config.txt hdmi_group=2 is DMT, and hdmi_mode=82 is 1920x1080 @60 Hz, and now dmesg and Xorg both get 1920x1080

2021-01-17: using older files for fixup4.dat and start4.elf on the boot partition helps (I got the files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/d26853-bcm2711-rpi-4-b-dtb/files/ in the zip file rpi4_pack_freebsd.zip, mounted the ms-dos partition on my workstaton and copied the files over. Caveat: if the wireless receiver for my keyboard and mouse (Rapoo E9100P) is inserted in a usb port before boot, boot output is low and eventually boot fails. Workaround: take out the receiver before booting, and put it back in when the login prompt shows up.

2021-01-16: with FreeBSD 13.0-alpha1. dmesg output: normal.

2021-01-16: I updated the firmware on the FreeBSD-13.0-ALPHA1-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210114-7ae27c2d6c4-255938.img.xz image, and then it boots. Unfortunately, usb doesn't work, so no local keyboard. ssh works, like this:

tingo@generic:~ $ freebsd-version -ku

tingo@generic:~ $ uname -a

good.

2021-01-16: I tested the image FreeBSD-13.0-ALPHA1-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210114-7ae27c2d6c4-255938.img.xz as-is (no updating of firmware). The Pi4 boots, prints some text on the screen, then starts over, in an endless cycle.

2021-01-16: I also tested the image FreeBSD-12.2-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20210114-r369008.img.xz in the same way, with updated firmware. It fails in the same way: the Pi4 boots, loads kernel, prints "gpioregulator0: cannot get pin 0" then has a kernel fault and stops.

2021-01-16: I tested the image FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI3.img.xz by writing it to a microSD card, and updating the firmware. I got the firmware with this script

tingo@kg-core2$ cat get_firmware.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
for i in bcm2710-rpi-2-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb bootcode.bin fixup.dat fixup4.dat fixup4cd.dat fixup4db.dat fixup4x.dat fixup_cd.dat fixup_db.dat fixup_x.dat start.elf start4.elf start4cd.elf start4db.elf start4x.elf start_cd.elf start_db.elf start_x.elf overlays/disable-bt.dtbo overlays/mmc.dtbo overlays/pwm.dtbo
{
 fetch -o ./${i} https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/boot/${i}
}

then mounted the fat32 partition on the microSD card and copied the files over. Result: the Pi4 boots, loads kernel, prints "gpioregulator0: cannot get pin 0" then has a kernel fault and stops.
