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-t= o-inst all-on-my-rpi Unfortunately with the same result. To exclude errors in my image buildin= g process I tried the image provided there. I got the same result - it does= n't boot. By trying two of the Raspbian =22wheezy=22 imagesI have verified that the= problem is not caused by the SD card or by the Raspberry PI itself. Both images w= orked as expected. Any hints what I can try to get FreeBSD working? Best regards Ralf
