Booting the img stick

Have you tried to connect your display to the motherboard's HDMI into DisplayPort ?
And In the BIOS, disable the GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600. ?

Yes, I've tried disabling the onboard GPU to no effect. I haven't yet physically moved my display port connection to the onboard GPU vs the discrete GPU, though I had thought about it. I suppose I'll give that a try before I leave the house this morning. I prefer to move cabling and such when powered off and I have something running that i'm preferring not to interrupt at the moment.
That'd be a lark if all this time it's been sending all the graphics to the onboard display.

Ok, I tried it...and par for the course, no difference.

I did and have, as previously explained. Unless you are differentiating from the memstick image vs the DVD iso for FreeBSD.
mfsBSD?

I would give this a try

I think I can squeeze that in before showers and leaving the house. Will edit this comment with my results. Thanks :0
Ok, tried booting that under Ventoy, and no different behavior was observed.

Maybe you already answered: Why use Ventoy rather than the FreeBSD DVD?

1) It's faster 2) Someone suggested it's better (though with Linuxes, your mileage may vary) I don't use it exclusively and I did try pretty much every image file as dd once also...yes, as I think I may have mentioned before.
I mentioned it to fully document a trial effort. Why did you feel it necessary to ask? (flipping the tables) (perhaps you have a reason that might be useful with regards to my efforts)

Have you tried updating the UEFI firmware?

Yes, I'm one of those persons that aren't happy unless they're on the latest release.

Sorry
I hadn't realized that you had already used the DVD.
