Manually setting the third partition to active does work to boot, but
the default partition settings for root and cfg are also wrong; you need
these overrides or the mount of root fails on startup:

#
# Partition layout for the Pi2 is:
# 1 = FAT16 boot (MSDOS) containing bootcode, ubldr, etc.
# 2 = CFG
# 3 = Root (must be separately marked active so ubldr can find it)
# 4 = Altroot
#
NANO_SLICE_CFG=s2
NANO_SLICE_ROOT=s3
NANO_SLICE_ALTROOT=s4
NANO_ROOT=s3a
NANO_ALTROOT=s4a

I'm working on some other issues but this allows the unit to boot up and
start.  You do need to mark the partition active manually but there's a
workaround for the need to do that manually -- mount the image after
it's built in "common" and set the active flag using gpart:

mdi=`mdconfig -f _.disk.image......`
gpart set -a active -i 3 $mdi
mdconfig -d -u $mdi

Which works if used in place of the "-a...." argument to the mkimg
command.  Perhaps this should be changed in the "common" script and made
the general case, at least for 11-STABLE and before, since it should
work with pretty-much any version of FreeBSD and obviates the need for
the updated mkimg.  As things stand right now a checkout of 11-STABLE
has a common script that relies on an updated mkimg that isn't present
in the system and thus will//not work.

This is what I changed in common:

        case ${NANO_LAYOUT} in
        std-embedded)
#              mkimg -a 3 ${skiparg} ${fmtarg} ${bootmbr} -s mbr -p
${s1}:=${NANO_LOG}/_.s1 \
                mkimg ${skiparg} ${fmtarg} ${bootmbr} -s mbr -p
${s1}:=${NANO_LOG}/_.s1 \
                        -p ${s2}:=${NANO_LOG}/_.s2 \
                        -p ${s3}:=${NANO_LOG}/_.s3 \
                        -o ${out}
                mdi=`mdconfig -f ${out}`
                gpart show $mdi
                gpart set -a active -i 3 $mdi
                gpart show $mdi
                mdconfig -d -u $mdi
                ;;

The two "shows" are (obviously) not necessary but result in log output
that shows the active flag successfully set.

Partial output from _.di incorporating this change:

Onward I go... now I need to figure out how to get packages to work in a
cross-compiled world, which might be a bit of a bigger problem since the
existing way it's done chroot's into the installed world, which of
course means that the "pkg" command is for the wrong architecture.....
