FreeBSD 10.1 / 11 on a Raspberry Pi B+ / 2 ?

[Pedro Orozco]

OK, so now my Rasperry Pi 2 boots but only in single user mode.

I built an image using crochet, then installed sysutils/u-boot-rpi2, mounted first partition and copied all files from /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2

I didn't change anything in config.txt
disable_commandline_tags=0
device_tree_address=0x100
device_tree=rpi2.dtb
kernel=u-boot.bin
gpu_mem=64
