I can build working 11-STABLE images for the RPI2 using Crochet, and
they're fine -- dd them onto a card and boot it.  I use it for
production things with the "NanoBSD" option (and some home-brewed
changes, a couple of which I've submitted back to the Crochet folks as
there were what appear to be clear errors) but without that option it
works fine as well.
