FreeBSD 10.x on Raspberry Pi 2

[Tim Gustafson]

I just wanted to follow up with the group to say that I was able to
get the 2015-05-05 Raspberry PI 2 image to work.  I believe the
problem was my SD card.  The card checks out totally normally under
Windows, but when you load the image onto it and then boot it, it
panics right after trying to re-size the partition on the first book.
On subsequent boots, I have to manually specify the boot device (it
wants to boot off of mmscd0s2 but needs to boot off mmscd0s2a) and
then I am not able to re-size the root partition anymore and I get
occasional panics under heavy disk I/O.  I switched to a different
card and have had no problems so far.

As an aside: does anyone have any recommendations for SD cards that
are faster/better than others?  The card that didn't work for me was a
SanDisk 32GB Ultra, and the one that's working now is a SanDisk 16GB
Pixtor.  It's not terrible, but it's a bit slow and I was wondering if
something else would be faster.  Any recommendations at all are
appreciated.

Thanks!
