GhostBSD ARM64 porting from x86 code base (RISC-V in the future??)

Raspberry Pi OS works, is supported.  Why select and use GhostBSD-Arm64?   Why would you choose to port FreeBSD (GhostBSD-Arm64) to the Raspberry Pi 4B?  Well I had experience installing & running PCBSD on a x86 laptop in June 2014.  Then I  went back to work and the next time I had time to install PCBSD was October, November 2016, yet there was no PCBSD available then.  Looking around I found https://GhostBSD.org/download and installed GhostBSD.  Networkmgr python app was not working for me.  So I studied about setting up wifi manual using google searches.  I will share forum posts related to that wifi learning experience. https://forums.ghostbsd.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=view&f=-1&p=162   Letter Note I wrote about my noob experience with GhostBSD in December 2016. Sorry, but when you are new, you don't have a procedure to follow or know the command names from the very beginning of your journey to knowledge.  Yet,...

Download  a FreeBSD 14.0 Current version for Raspberry Pi Here below,  I used Manjaro Linux to download and write an .IMG file to a microSD card.  I have also used GhostBSD.org Operating System as my base development system to do the same thing.   The commands are slightly different to perform the same task.  Like sha256, sha512 commands for GhostBSD and sha256sum, sha512sum for Manjaro Linux. My non functional USB Keyboard problem details, referenced in URLS I see some numbers and text fly by on the HDMI Monitor with Raspberry Pi 4B, yet could not type on the USB keyboard and enter some characters to login at the login prompt.  The keyboard was non responsive.  The February 2021 FreeBSD snapshots did not have the correct start4.elf file.
