   PID: SoupGate-Win32 v1.05   
   I've been booting a couple of old Pi2 v1.1 (armv7) hosts   
   using the bootcode.bin method to run freebsd from usb   
   mechanical hard disks.   
      
   The hardware documentation page link for the "latest"   
   bootcode.bin for this purpose appears to be at least a   
   couple years old, placed on Github under the handle   
   popcornmix. The URL is   
   https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/bootcode.bin   
      
      
   Does anybody know of a more recent version of the file? Recent   
   boot attempts have failed to find the USB disk, but the disk   
   and SATA-to_USB adapter are recognized without a problem on   
   both FreeBSD and RasPiOS Bookworm, suggesting both are ok.   
      
   At this point the machine falls into a loop of netboot attempts.   
   Alternatively, is there some way to break out of the netboot   
   loop via the serial console? That might let me look around.   
      
   Thanks for reading,
