I've installed FreeBSD 14.2 on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.=20 The problem that I'm having is that Firefox crashes all the time. . . . END QUOTE 14.2-RELEASE does not officially support any RPi* but what is listed in: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/release/arm64/RPI.conf?h=3Dreleng/14.2 as having support files that it supplies for the release media, such as the *.dtb files copied from the RPi* firmware. What is listed for the DTBs is: DTB=3D"bcm2710-rpi-2-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb = bcm2710-rpi-cm3.dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb" The file bcm2710-rpi-zero-2-w.dtb is not listed. There is also no FreeBSD port for a U-boot that is explicitly for the RPi Zero 2 W: # ls -dC1 /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi* /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi-0-w /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi2 /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi3 /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi3-32 /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 I've no clue if /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 would support the RPi0-2-W or not. sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 was used to supply U-Boot for arm64 for 14.2-RELEASE. It seems you likely have a non-standard/adjusted configuration in order to use the RPi0-2-W with the correct RPi* firmware-related files (and possibly more). Separately, you do not mention any configuration of swap space. With so little RAM you may well need RAM+SWAP. I've no clue what the minimum RAM might be for firefox use in your context. For all I know, 512 MiBytes might be too little. How little may well depend on which graphics environment you are using, as it all competes for RAM+SWAP . =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
