I'll try building this on a rpi4. Will it work with 14.0-releng? |

Is the only change here not to include device.hints?

Yes, that and also loader_4th and loader_lua - reworked logic around that now.

Here we also should use a variable for the bootfile instead of the complex if-else forking.

This is strange, the build should be host-independent, only target should impact any changres.

For aarch64, there's different layout of partitions and there's no need for installing bootcode - I tried to make my changes in that way, they won't touch the existing logic, but feel free to propose/change it any way you feel it should be.

There is some issue if ISO will be build: Installing roothack ... done need also the aarch64. can someone fix it? |
Hi. Made the change to build ISO based on release scripts, if you could check if that's ok and it boot, thanks :) |

There is a little issue in the partition part 
could help this? |
The Issue is in the zfsinstall file. There is no EFI partition part into which will setup the default way and let crash the setup in that case for arm64? |
Background: I use the mfsbsd image to auto install OS System via foreman |

Small changes that enable build on aarch64 based machines.
Tested with 13.2 under qemu for ex.
qemu-system-aarch64 -drive format=raw,file=mfsbsd-13.2-RELEASE-aarch64.img -m 2048M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt -bios edk2-aarch64-code.fd
