I then used those packages to update the RPi, and had successfully done that several times with armv6. I had to ask here earlier how to generate the armv7 packages, but once I patched pkg that worked fine. I originally converted a snapshot to use packages using the wiki page https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase. Based on what I saw with this snapshot, it appears that my conversion was successful but the version was unbootable. >> This time I downloaded the >> latest snapshot (r325156 from 20171030) and it also refuses to boot for >> exactly the same reason.

It appears to be a general problem base on the other responses I have seen. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
