Which one?

Those instructions are *very* out of date.  There are much
simpler approaches now.

If you want to do it =E2=80=9Cthe hard way=E2=80=9D, the basic outline =
is just:

$ cd /usr/src
$ make TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv6 TARGET=3Darm buildworld
$ make TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv6 TARGET=3Darm buildkernel

(TARGET_ARCH and TARGET here may vary depending on the particular board =
you=E2=80=99re targeting.)

To build a filesystem image suitable for booting, you=E2=80=99ll need to =
install world onto it:

$ make TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv6 TARGET=3Darm DESTDIR=3Dmy_base_dir =
installworld

Then you need to figure out what to do with the kernel and what boot =
bits are needed by your particular board.  This varies a lot from system =
to system.

If you don=E2=80=99t want to do it the hard way:

FreeBSD=E2=80=99s release engineers are publishing stock images
for several popular boards that you can just download and run.

The Crochet tool knows how to build complete, customized
bootable images for a variety of boards.

Cheers,
