What I've done....

sudo make KERNCONF=MT7621_FDT FDT_DTS_FILE=WITI.dts TARGET=mips
TARGET_ARCH=mipsel kernel-toolchain buildkernel

cd /usr/obj/mips.mipsel/usr/srcs/Mips/src/sys/MT7621_FDT
readelf -h kernel | grep 'Entry point address:'
    Entry point address:               0x80001100
../../tmp/usr/bin/objcopy -O binary kernel kernel.bin

mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80001100 -e 0x80001100 
-n 'FreeBSD Kernel Image' -d kernel kernel.uboot

And then I TFTPboot this kernel in uboot on the WiTi board

But it freezes like this:
MT7621 # bootm
## Booting image at 80100000 ...
    Image Name:   FreeBSD Kernel Image
    Image Type:   MIPS Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
    Data Size:    5998108 Bytes =  5.7 MB
    Load Address: 80001100
    Entry Point:  80001100
    Verifying Checksum ... OK
OK
No initrd
## Transferring control to Linux (at address 80001100) ...
## Giving linux memsize in MB, 256

Starting kernel ...

----------------------

And then it freezes.

Is this because there is no serial device in the kernel any longer?

Or do I need to do different things.
