OK, it's http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html, the section title is
"Mini-install Guide", by Olivier Houchard (which I'm probably making a hash of).
 Thanks for that ref to the p4 archive, I haven't used that yet, wasn't sure
where it is.  I know that the current gcc does provide support for the Cortex,
but I don't know exactly (yet) how old it is, I need to see, I guess, if it's at
least as old as the gcc (4.2.1).  That's not too hard to find out.
