I've successfully gotten it to boot off of a usb stick (after many adventures) but I've run into a problem. It seems that mge1 is not found (the 2nd ethernet interface). I really need this to work, so I did some digging on this list but it seems there's a .dts file needed. FreeBSD 8 doesn't use dts files as far as I can tell, though I could be horribly wrong there. Can anyone point me to some patches which would get the 2nd ethernet interface to work? As a related question, I'm noting some conversation by various developers about issues with arm...if there are any patches that experienced people could point me to that might get arm to work better for FreeBSD 8.3 that would be great.
