I'm having trouble getting FreeBSD going on my Raspbery Pi
Hardware. The Pi that I would like to use is :
- A Raspberry Pi B+ with a manufactures stamp of "2014";
I've downloaded the image:
FreeBSD-11.2-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20190411-r346104.img.xz from
downloads.freebsd.com [1].
I burn it to a PNY 16G MicroSD card on a FreeBSD box as follows:
- # xzcat FreeBSD-11.2-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20190411-r346104.img.xz \
> | dd of=/dev/da3 bs=2621440
#
That takes about 5 minutes after that I end up with: a bunch of
partitions on the micro SD card including a freeBSD mountable
filesystem.
So, I put that SD card into the Raspberry Pi B+ and I get the square
rainbow screen on my HDMI monitor. I have both a USB keyboard and a
mouse attached to the PI at bootup but it never leaves the square
rainbow screen.
Q: Can any FreeBSD / Raspberry Pi users tell me what my next steps
are?
Just as an FYI, I have a second image of Debian Linux of some sort
that boots just fine on this hardware.
