FreeBSD/mips on the Ubiquiti LS-SR71A

Hi all,

Here's another mostly-functioning MIPS board that I've gotten my mittens on.

The default RSPRO_STANDALONE kernel that I've been using simply
netbooted without change. But arge0 doesn't (yet) work - this device
doesn't actually have a switch phy on either interface. Yes, it just
has a bog standard, normal phy attached somewhere :-)

the loader prompt:

     set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.

vfs.root.mountfrom=
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=
