Hi Folks,

I have just taken delivery of a few Beaglebones that I am intending to
do some NTP Work. With FreeBSD having one of the better reputations
with regards to Time and PPS etc, I thought I would install FreeBSD on
at least one of them.

Unfortunately, all of the guides I've found all assume you have a
FreeBSD box already running. Unfortunately, I don't, and nor do I have
a spare x86 box to do so.

Does anyone have an *image* of a base install for a 4 Gig microSD
card that I can download ? Preferably with ssh and dhcp installed
(yes, I know about blowing away the keys), as that would avoid having
to rely on the console.

Quite happy to rebuild the kernel and world afterwards (yes, I know I
need an 8 Gig SD card), but it's just this bootstrapping problem thats
an issue...


Best Regards

Iain
