Maybe it's time to give up on the old system and reinstall.

I do have a machine running

root at ns2:/boot # uname -a
FreeBSD ns2.zefox.net 11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #4 r311959: Thu Jan 12 11:21:06 PST 2017     bob at ns2.zefox.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RPI2  arm

Does the release-making machinery work well enough to concoct a bootable
image? Last time I looked it didn't, but it's been six months at least.

Thanks!
