Booting FreeBSD on a BananaPi

[Koz Ross]

I'm trying to jump into FreeBSD by installing it on my BananaPi, which I plan to
use as a micro-server. I downloaded the BananaPi .img.xz from the FreeBSD FTP
server, dd'ed it onto an SD card, inserted it into the BananaPi, and powered it
on. However, I have no Ethernet activity, and the light on top of the board is
red, which I assume means that nothing is happening. Do I have to do something
special for the boot process to begin?

Also, do the provided images start an SSH server when you boot into them?
