But this just presents:

bsd
bsd.rd
Does anyone have any suggestion of how I might achieve editing
boot.conf
on the miniroot69 image or otherwise how to boot the Raspberry Pi 4B
into fb0?
That would go on the booted disk, not inside the ramdisk kernel, so
cd /mnt
mkdir etc
echo set tty fb0 > etc/boot.conf
Pretty sure I tested that scenario and it worked without boot.conf
though I'm not sure if it was with the pftf firmware or U-Boot.
Thank you Stuart, this worked :)
Great to know that an arm64 *can* be booted without access to the serial
console.
