Hi everyone.

Just to mention that I was able to build world and kernel and boot FreeBSD
on the Raspberry Pi2.

I used an image I built using crochet (r283010), then built and booted
r283019 on the RPI2 itself:
root at rpi2:/usr/src # uname -a
FreeBSD rpi2 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r283019: Mon May 18
10:18:05 EDT 2015     root at rpi2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RPI2  arm


The only problems were
1) It's slow
2) the /tmp partition of 30M was too small to installworld


Good work guys.

Cheers
Paul
