Raspberry Pi issues

Everyone,

     I am trying to get FreeBSD running on a Raspberry Pi.  I have found 
a lot of info and many stories of success online but I am having some 
real difficulty with Release 10.1  , using the official arm6 release image.

I am using a Raspberry Pi B+   512MB Ram, only 256MB found. Initially, 
it would not boot properly.  I downloaded various versions of start.elf 
from github.  The latest one also gave problems but a slightly older one 
worked.  I found several posts from late october claiming success and 
used a version from around that time.  All of the posts I found 
referncing success were either 11-current or 10.1-RC3 , so I don't know 
if there is something different for 10.1 Release.  Not seeing all of the 
memory is my first problem.

The second problem is I am unable to compile software, which obviously 
could be related to the memory issue.  The error I see every time is 
when compiling is:

sqlite/sqlite3.c:8542:26: warning: unused variable 'sqlite3one' 
[-Wunused-const-variable]
SQLITE_PRIVATE const int sqlite3one = 1;
                          ^

If anyone has any suggestions, etc. it would be greatly appreciated.
