Building a Beaglebone FreeBSD Kernel
Building a FreeBSD kernel for Beaglebone is not terribly difficult. Firstly, you need the FreeBSD-Current sources: svn co http://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/head /src/FreeBSD/ Next, build the cross-development tools for FreeBSD: cd /src/FreeBSD/head make XDEV=arm XDEV_ARCH=armv6 xdev Then get Crochet-FreeBSD. This is by far the easiest way to build a FreeBSD kernel for Beaglebone git clone git://github.com/kientzle/crochet-freebsd.git Once you…

Bootstrapping pkgng on FreeBSD ARM
There is no official pkgng repo for FreeBSD-arm, yet. There is an unofficial one, here, however in order to use it, you have to have pkgng installed. As far as I can tell, the only way to install pkgng on ARM is to builds and install from source. On the platform I’m using, Wandboard, the…
TimeMachine backups on FreeBSD-10
I usually work on a Macbook, and I use keyless ssh with a cron job to do nightly backups. It works very well. However, I decided to try backups with Time Machine, using my FreeBSD-10 server as the host. The first step is to install netatalk3, and nss_mdns pkg install netatalk3 pkg install nss_mdns avahi…

At long last, I have the Crochet-FreeBSD build for Wandboard working properly, with U-boot and ubldr. This article will serve, I hope, to document the entire process and give others a…

Hi!
I DL:ed the RPI FreeBSD 10 from the files section and “dd” it to my sd-card. I see all pre boot stuff, but the freebsd kernel won’t load. Any ideas?
Regards Jonas
Got a boot log?
No, it doesn’t come to that. It stops right after checking for kernel and when it enters kernel arg…nothing happens. The normal FreeBSD boot doesn’t appear. I think it’s right after the bootloader or what it’s called. I don’t have FreeBSD to mount the sd-card on at home. I’ll check the sd-card and for some logs at work under this week. There’s no errors or messages that the boot is problematic.
Could you get a screen shot?
no, but i took some bad, bad pix of my tv-screen 🙂

Sorry about that 🙁
ok, I don’t actually know if the video output is fully supported. I’ve never tried it. Have you tried using a serial console?
No, i do not have tested a serial console. I’ll bring aone from work and test later. You mean a usb-serial console-cable? I no that the earlier images that you provided (10-alpha/beta) work on this screen/video through HDMI.
No, I mean a USB-RS232 serial cable.
Yes, we mean the same type of cable. The one i got, doesn’t work with my macbook. I’ll get a windows-machine and test again.
