Why does FreeBSD do not have that yet? The other day I installed FreeBSD on a Raspberry PI 3 and it works like a charm, but these 2 important features are missing. Why? All Linuxes seem to have it, even NetBSD has it. Why is FreeBSD lacking behind in this? Such a pity...

Hi community I have tried to use FreeBSD 12.1 on my Pi3 and found out that it works two times slowly then Raspbian Linux for the same tasks. Here is the results below. p.s. I think it happens because the FreeBSD does not switch the CPU to "Turbo" mode and as a fact it works really slow...

I am trying to put FreeBSD 11.4 or 12.1 on my RasPi original and after I power it on it goes through the boot process but says it can't find a device to write too. I have an 8GB SD card in there. If I can get a video of it I will post. But wanted to see if anyone had experienced this as well.
