The reason for asking is that in the early to mid '90's I ran an early version (I'm guessing something like 5.x or 6.x) of FreeBSD for a while on an old PC, which, although it had a CD-ROM drive, could only boot from its floppy drive. At the time that wasn't a problem because the FreeBSD project provided a utility named fdimage, which allowed users to create a bootable floppy from an image file, boot from that floppy and continue the installation process from CD-ROM. To rephrase my question; am I correct in assuming that the FreeBSD release 11.0 SD-card image file contains everything one needs to do a first time installation of FreeBSD on a cubieboard or cubieboard2? I.e. I do not or do no longer need to install the SPL loader and U-boot programs on the SD-card, since they are either an integral part of or not needed when using the image file. > It should be full image including spl and u-boot. >> Tnx.
