Hello,

    The Raspberry Pi 4 is 64bit and there's someone who generates 
images for it on a daily basis. Also, the Raspberry Pi EFI + arm64.img 
will work.  For other platforms check out 
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/arm/ for pre-built images for a variety of 
ARM boards (many 64bit).

It's probably best to continue this on port-arm.

Thanks,

Jason M.
