Booting kernel on Cubieboard/Mele a_1000 (Allwiner A10)

[Mariano Lescano]

Thanks for that information, FreeBSD is now running in the Cubieboard and
mele_a1000 boards using ubldr and mounting the root filesystem from USB
stick. We will try to patch to get mmc support.
Anyone knows about ethernet and gpu support??
Thanks
