Oleksandr had one in his github tree but it has not been merged to -CURRENT. I think that's the only obstacle to building bootable SD images today. 2) Framebuffer. Documentation: http://elinux.org/RPi_Framebuffer It looks like it might be a couple days work for someone to tie this into sysconf and get a working text console through the HDMI connector. With both of the above, we would be able to build functional standalone FreeBSD/RPi images. No doubt still a lot of rough edges, but that allow a lot more people to get involved. Timhelp
