Bug ID: 263070
Summary: [13.1-RC1] announce email has incorrect arm64 qemu
instructions
Product: Base System
Version: 13.1-RELEASE
Hardware: arm64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People

"""
Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI
loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the
virtual machine images. See this page for more information:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU
To boot the VM image, run:
% qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic \
-drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
-netdev user,id=net0
Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image.

There is no info on the wiki, but using:
/usr/local/share/qemu/edk2-aarch64-code.fd
from emulators/qemu did the job.
Can we amend it as follows:
