FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20200806-r363935-memstick.img: Failed (for both CloverEFI and legacy BIOS modes)
Below those are untested

As the screensnap told to me, the failed media were always stuck at ACPI/APIC then were no longer reacted to the laptop

Yes (if some guy has meant 12.1), but my results were the same, for both UEFI (CloverEFI) and legacy BIOS (hardware) modes

Please try to boot with additional option hw.x2apic_enable=0
Select "Escape to loader prompt" and type:

Code: 
set hw.x2apic_enable=0
boot
 
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: CCB request completed with an error

Please also try:

1. Different USB-port
2. Different USB drive (are you booting from a USB drive?)
3. Boot with kern.cam.ada.write_cache=0
 
But it rises another issue, the wifi networks are always down somewhy, and i don’t have any fallbacks for wireless network configs in rc.conf or loader.conf
The wifi chip is run in terms of ath0 drivers (no hardware issues are), but even thru sudo bsdconfig it still doesn’t connect again to any wifi networks at all
Due to the dead wireless networks Plasma is always being dead (but SDDM and KDE apps not dead), going to instead get it fixed at XFCE, Enlightenment, or Lumina, even if started under SDDM it’s still frozen somewhy

I’m back :) And reading some official docs on ‘‘putting up’’ my network first, ahead getting my hardware ‘‘probed’’
www.freebsd.org

Chapter 14. Configuration, Services, Logging and Power Management

This chapter explains much of the FreeBSD configuration files, how to enable or disable a service, how to configure the logging system and the power management area.
www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org
www.freebsd.org

FreeBSD Quickstart Guide for Linux® Users

This document is intended to quickly familiarize intermediate to advanced Linux® users with the basics of FreeBSD.
www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org
According to the docs and my wifi card is ath0, how to assign it back again as wlan0?
 
The wireless issue was gone too, but the XFCE shell was NO mice available with the touchpad disabled, i have TWO USB and wireless mice but BOTH were NOT working
And finally, the Plasma shell was blunk in black, so i’m yet to need to also test out Enlightenment and Lumina i’ve also installed on FreeBSD, alongside Plasma and XFCE
 
And it suggests moused type for USB mice MUST be auto, aka moused_type=auto in rc.conf :)
Btw tried to install NomadBSD but actually installing it DESTROYS everything on your SSD’s, so never done installing :(
 
And the wikies and the forums have mentioned too little on setting up USB wireless mice, and i don’t think my USB wireless mice have been working
Both Fujitsu and Logitech are not working on Linux but working on FuryBSD (just a setup for installing FreeBSD with a desktop),
Again and finally, both are USB and wirelessly connected and used, and both just need ONE AA-sized chargeable battery

Tried NomadBSD and found how its rc.conf and loader.conf are written,

And now i fully lost access to the X server (as of SDDM always saying Abort trap), but the wireless networks are always working
Finally i have boot1.efi (first stage driver), loader.efi (final stage driver), gptboot.efi (full stages driver) on my ESP
All three sometimes start X sometimes don’t, but as of always needing to start X, which among them is better?
