I've started tinkering with ideas for generalizing my
BeagleBone script so it can build system images for
other boards.

The issue isn't the FreeBSD kernel config but rather
juggling all the different pieces of boot machinery
and the various filesystem constraints.

Still just noodling the idea around, but I think I've
got a few things to build on.  For now, I'm limiting it to
just:
   * ARM-based boards
   * Building a disk image

I only have a BeagleBone and a RaspberryPi at
the moment, so Pandaboard support would require
some help.  At a minimum, I'd be interested in
an outline of what a Pandaboard image looks
like in terms of boot files, partitions, etc.
