Never mind, the only thing dead is my brain.  I forgot to use xzcat
when writing the image:

dd of=/dev/da2
if=FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA6-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20160701-r302303.img.xz
bs=1M

Needs to actually be:

xzcat FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA6-arm-armv6-CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD-20160701-r302303.img.xz
| dd of=/dev/da2 bs=1M

The previous error seems to be a red herring.

Thanks,
