FreeBSD on R-Pi and BBB: Odds and ends

OK.  I was commenting on the wiki page for Raspberry Pi at:
  https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi

It doesn't use either "RPI2" or "development".

I was pointing out what confused me in case anybody wanted to improve that 
page.

I think a paragraph that said something like
    "FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B" works on B and B+. 
    For Pi 2, you need "FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI2".
would have been very helpful to me.

The BeagleBone Black has a bitton that you need to hold down in order to boot 
from the SD card.

Again, that's on R-Pi.  On a BBB I get:
[~]$ sysctl -a | grep temp
net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr: 0
net.inet6.ip6.temppltime: 86400
net.inet6.ip6.tempvltime: 604800
net.inet6.ip6.prefer_tempaddr: 0
hw.usb.template: 0
[~]$
