I haven't tried this yet but presumably you can NFS mount your
kernel dev system and just kexec() the freebsd kernel (or
netboot!) from linux...  This may be a good short term path.
Also note that someone has got jtag working.  You do have to
solder a wire on the S5 connector to make it work (& voiding
your warranty)! See
