Ok, thank you. I thought as much but don't follow the Pi forums well
and hoped I'd missed something.

Maybe it's significant that both red and green LEDs stay on while
the Pi attempts netboot?
The microSD has bootcode.bin and timeout, with a directory named
"unused" containing other leftover files. The USB drive contains
a normal complement of FreeBSD boot files, starting with u-boot.
This setup worked until last night, when the FreeBSD system crashed
with nothing on the serial console and declined to reboot via plug-
pulling.

I don't have one handy, but maybe that's a necessary step I'd hoped
to avoid. If I put a RasPiOS microSD in and apply power, the card
boots and can read the USB disk. If I plug the USB disk into
either FreeBSD or Bookworm the disk is recognized and smartctl
reports "passed" for the health check.

Are they known to suddenly stop booting a formerly bootable device?
Repartitioning and re-copying bootcode.bin to the microSD worked
without errors but still won't boot.
Thanks for writing,
