2023-03-03: I set up usb networking (via RNDIS) by adding to the end of /boot/config.txt (the [all] section):

dtoverlay=dwc2

and adding modules-load=dwc2,g_ether to /boot/cmdline.txt (carefully making sure that there is only one space between parts). The complete line looks like this:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=4d39212e-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait modules-load=dwc2,g_ether

Unfortunately, the usb netowrking doesn't work when the Pi Zero W is conmnected to c2, my FreeBSD workstation.

2023-03-02: back home, I realized my error and wrote the 32-bit version of Raspi OS (lite) to the card. after adding my wireless network details to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, I could finally ssh into my Pi Zero W.

2023-03-02: still at Bitraf, I wrote latest Raspi OS (lite) to a 16 GB microSD card usin the Pi Imager. Unfortunately, I wrote the 64-bit version, and couldn't figure out why the machine wouldn't boot (it didn't have a monitor connected). I got a usb hub from a friend, and borrowed a usb network card so the Pi Zero was attached to a wired network.
