freebsd stable - Jan 2019 - APU2, legacy firmware 4.0.22, FreeBSD 12.0 hangs in boot

Hi Kurt,


It was my understanding FreeBSD only worked with the "legacy" firmware
releases. Since 4.8.0.5 is a "mainline" release, is there any
particular
reason not to go for the newest "mainline" release (v4.8.0.7) ?

Kind regards,

Ruben

Well, that's what I thought as well, but when the legacy did not work,
I tried the mainline (the 4.8.0.5), it worked.

I did not test the .7, due to my fatfingering during the download/update 8-}
As it worked, I'm fine for now.
