FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 512MB (with U-Boot + ubldr)

Updated to RPI-B-test4 kernel and SVN 243792.

Still NOT STABLE!!

The kernel is replaced with non-optimized version.
Add GPT partition support.
Add U-Boot SD card workaround.

You can download my test binary from:

http://www.peach.ne.jp/archives/rpi/freebsd-pi-20121204.img.gz

SHA256 (freebsd-pi-20121204.img.gz) = 
13df40c567a486601d9e68ac5b8b2c0be778ac9625befa7d7cada616bbc2fa29

Download and decompress it, then write it to SD.
This image requires SD 4GB or more.
I'm using as headless. So, you need a serial console for seeing the boot 
log.
If you need to change the value on it, please mount the second partition 
(e.g. /dev/da0s2a).
If you want the video out, please remove the line of "set 
console=comconsole" in /boot/loader.rc.

Note: first time, it takes about 2 minutes for generating the SSH keys.
