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. -- Chris [1][https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.2/FreeBSD-11.2-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20190411-r346104.img.xz] -- -- Chris __o "All I was trying to do was get home from work." _`\<,_ -Rosa Parks ___(*)/_(*)_____________________________________________________________ Christopher Sean Hilton [chris/at/vindaloo/dot/com]
