It's highly likely that I'm being an idiot here.

What I have is a keyboard plugged into the pi via the USB and a monitor
connected via the HDMI socket.

The image I'm using is from here:

http://download.raspbsd.org/FreeBSD-armv6-11.0-RPI2-286947.img.gz
(main page is http://raspbsd.org)

It says:

"Designed to be connected to a display and used with a keyboard/mouse. 
Currently no GUI is enabled."

It has a separate section for console images but none are available.
Hmmmm.

The other way of doing what I want to do is to remove the sdcard and
sticks, mount them on another machine and move the filesystems round
that way.
