 SUCCESS!  Raspberry Pi 4B with 8gigs booted up. Yeah!

Now for setting up a desktop environment, or getting broadcom wifi to work, or installing a USB SSD, to save files


SSH login over Ethernet Port

Read the IP address given to the FreeBSD Raspberry Pi bootup messages

192.168.1.118

I had two ethernet cables plugged into a 5 port router purchased at GoodWill store.  Cisco 2500   Pick any of the 4 ethernet ports.  Leave the Yellow RJ-45 Internet port open.  1 ethernet cable from the raspberry Pi 4B.  The 2nd ethernet cable from your laptop computer.

The 5 port router had  DHCP server running to dynamically hand out IP address.  

'ifconfig'     or 'ip a s'  tells you what  your laptop local ethernet address is.

test that the raspberry pi 4B is alive with a ping command

ping -c 3 192.168.1.118

Login using ssh to the freebsd raspberry pi command

ssh freebsd@192.168.1.118

password:   freebsd

bam you are now communication with the FreeBSD operating system
