Hi all,

Because I had mixed experiences using Qemu (some versions work, some
don't, etc.) I decided to buy a Raspberry Pi 2 model B and a Raspberry
Pi 3 to do my ARM hacking.

First step: trying to get the Raspberry Pi 2 model B to boot. What I've done:

1. Downloaded the .img from freebsd.org
2. On Mac OS X, copied the 1 GB image to a 16 GB SD card:

sudo dd if=FreeBSD-11.0-RC2-arm-armv6-RPI2.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1024k

3. Put the SD card in the Raspberry Pi 2 and boot it.

The result: it gets stuck during boot. I also just discovered that I
don't have a spare USB keyboard, so I can't 'boot -v' yet.

Anyway, I've taken a photo I of the television. Is this a known
issue that has a trivial workaround? If not, then I guess I'll have to
start debugging...
