Daniel & Poppy:

I don't have the RPi 2 yet, but AFAIK, the big change is the uboot
files, which you could manually checkout.

Most of us are using crochet-freebsd to build images located at
https://github.com/kientzle/crochet-freebsd.

However, using FreeBSD head (11.x), I had to hash out vchi in the RPI-B
kernel to build for the last released RPI to build an image.

HTH.
