Hi, has anyone successfully booted FreeBSD on an new Raspberry PI with 512 MB RAM? With mine, it looks like booting terminates very early. There is just one flash from the activity LED. Nothing more, especially no splash screen. First I tried to build an image based on the information from http://kernelnomicon.org/ Next I tried the to build my own image based on http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/3288/freebsd-easiest-way-to-inst all-on-my-rpi Unfortunately with the same result. To exclude errors in my image building process I tried the image provided there. I got the same result - it doesn't boot. By trying two of the Raspbian "wheezy" imagesI have verified that the problem is not caused by the SD card or by the Raspberry PI itself. Both images worked as expected. Any hints what I can try to get FreeBSD working? Best regards Ralfhelp
