For some time it was possible to boot a pi2 using a normal FreeBSD image on a USB storage device by placing on the microSD DOS partition only bootcode.bin and an optional timeout file. That seems to no longer work, as of a few days ago on -current. If anybody can shed light on the puzzle it'd be much appreciated. Also, the version of u-boot furnished with FreeBSD allowed escape to the u-boot prompt, followed by usb reset and run bootcmd_usb0 which seems to have gone away. U-boot does report having a usbboot command, but it reports U-Boot> usbboot ** No device specified ** U-Boot> Running help usbboot reports usbboot - boot from USB device Usage: usbboot loadAddr dev:part U-Boot> usbboot - boot from USB device If somebody can point me to the correct parameters that would help greatly.
