I was curious if would run the latest version of FreeBSD so I downloaded the latest snapshot, FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20151130-r291495.img.  Unfortunately it doesn’t boot.  There is no output to the console and the activity LED doesn’t light.  I know there was a new release of Raspbian Jessie to support the Zero and I was successful in getting that to run, but I was wondering if anybody knew what the issue might be and what it would take to get FreeBSD to run on the Zero.

I haven’t looked, but most likely a new u-boot and/or other firmware is required. From what I understand of the board itself, though, the RPI-B kernel has an excellent chance of running on it.
