Will your method work for an image made by crotchet - ie will it boot
the right kernel, does it update what crotchet installed? The original
install was http://download.raspbsd.org/FreeBSD-armv6-11.0-RPI2-286947.img.gz

yep, I have powerd enabled now rather than setting turbo in 
/etc/sysctl.conf. I also have powerd_flags="-a hiadaptive" though am
unsure if these flags have any effect on this arch.
