I recently bought a rpi4 bundle and would like to install FreeBSD on it. I'm using Fedora as my machine to create the SD card. I simply followed the instructions at https://freebsdfoundation.org/resource/installing-freebsd-for-raspberry-pi/.
And ran into something resembling https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-install-on-raspberry-pi-model-b-failed.87768/ same error while trying to mount the ufs partition. I didn't try zfs.
From that thread, I gathered that the issue could be the SD card. So I went along with https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-U...a_raspberry_pi_using_the_fedora_arm_installer, and it booted all the way to the gfx installer. I didn't finish the installation and didn't check disk size (it should be 64GB).
Now using the proper dd option I tried
Why can I run Linux not FreeBSD? Is there a way to use that card, or should I shop for another card.

This indeed smells like a SD card issue. What I don't understand is why Fedora is able to expand the fs on the disk and boot the gfx installer while FreeBSD, just fails mounting the disk, or even writing the image.
