QEMU Aarch64 install to Raspberry Pi 500 Keyboard 8GB model, run FreeBSD in Arm64 Virtual Machine

Test HTML stuff below QEMU Aarch64 Install to Raspberry Pi 500 Keyboard 8GB model, to run FreeBSD Arm64 Virtual Machine  The Raspberry Pi 500 is essentially a rebranded Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM integrated into a keyboard, similar to the Raspberry Pi 400. Since the Raspberry Pi 5 does not have a pre-built FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE image (support is limited to Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 for this release), running FreeBSD arm64 14.3-RELEASE in a virtual machine (VM) on a Raspberry Pi 500 running Raspberry Pi OS is a viable approach. Below is a step-by-step guide to set this up using QEMU, a popular emulator and virtualization tool, on Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit, aarch64). ### Prerequisites - **Hardware**: Raspberry Pi 500 (8GB RAM) running Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit). - **Software**: - Raspberry Pi OS (latest recommended, e.g., based on Debian Bookworm). - QEMU installed on Raspberry Pi OS. - FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE arm64 virtual machine image or ISO. - **Storage**: At least 8GB free sp...
