Let me know if you can reproduce this. Here's the config.sh script I'm using: board_setup RaspberryPi # Make a very small image SD_SIZE=$((100 * MB)) # Don't bother installing world unset FREEBSD_INSTALL_WORLD BIG CAVEAT #1: No root filesystem. No one has yet merged Oleksandr's MMC drivers into -CURRENT, so the boot fails when it tries to mount root. I haven't tried mounting root over USB or NFS yet. BIG CAVEAT #2: This is *only* with the serial console. I'm using the serial/USB adapter from Adafruit, which works quite well; it even provides power to the board. BIG CAVEAT #3: Serial console keyboard is broken. Getting to a loader prompt is tricky but the keyboard seems okay there if you can get to the prompt. The mount root prompt is unusable. Small issue: Memory size is wrong. Kernel's getting it from ubldr which gets it from U-Boot which apparently has it hard-coded (?). I'm tinkering with having start.elf load FreeBSD kernel directly, bypassing U-Boot and ubldr. It's certainly not trivial. Tim
