Hi FreeBSD Arm Mailing List! Firstly, as I have joined this mailing list today I thought I would say "Hello World"!! Secondly, Would it be possible for someone to outline the current state of play is with FreeBSD-amd64 running on a Raspberry Pi 3 please? I realise that I can cross compile and have a go but wanted to understand if anyone had managed to get to a multi user state yet? I have seen a few messages where people have posted that it can (i.e. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2016-March/013352.html) but it wasn't clear if that was an off topic post about the state of arm64 or that FreeBSD/arm64 was operating on a RP3 (although the hardware chipsets being recognised did _seem_ on topic...) I also with some excitement I found the following report on GitHub: https://github.com/freebsd/crochet/issues/144, but couldn't help but notice that the image name indicates it is a memory stick image and I thought that the RP3 couldn't boot from a USB stick (http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/43531/raspberry-3-boot-from- usb-but-how)?!? Can anyone shed any light on this please? So in earnest, can you good people of the arm mailing list help me start on this journey with some initially hopeful news please, and if anyone has any guidance beyond the wiki pages for cross building (https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64) I would be very grateful! Kind regards, James
