Will your method work for an image made by crotchet - ie will it boot the right kernel, does it update what crotchet installed? The original install was http://download.raspbsd.org/FreeBSD-armv6-11.0-RPI2-286947.img.gz > Also, powerd definitely works on RPI2.

Your mileage may vary. yep, I have powerd enabled now rather than setting turbo in /etc/sysctl.conf. I also have powerd_flags="-a hiadaptive" though am unsure if these flags have any effect on this arch. thanks, -- John
