Building a NetBSD Release
Having built FreeBSD numerous times, I thought it would be interesting to know how to build NetBSD. The instructions from the NetBSD documentation are here. Firstly get the sources. An easy way is to simply FTP them. I got the NetBSD 6.1.2 sources from here. These files are all tarballs, so they’ll need to be…

Building U-boot 2014 on FreeBSD
I’m upgrading the U-boot version used for Wandboard by Crochet-BSD. The first step is to upgrade the Device Tree Compiler (DTC); there are instructions here. Once you have the U-boot 2014 source, the build is trivial: gmake SED=gsed HOSTCC=cc CROSS_COMPILE=armv6-freebsd- wandboard_quad_config gmake SED=gsed HOSTCC=cc CROSS_COMPILE=armv6-freebsd-
Time Machine backups using FreeBSD ZFS
In this blog article, I described a way to use Netatalk3 to do Time Machine backups on FreeBSD. This approach worked well, but it had some problems: The Time Machine backups are in every user’s home dir. That’s messy and there is the potential that they’ll accidentally delete the backup. If I put the backups…
FreeBSD on AWS with Ansible
I often have a need for a fresh FreeBSD install, to host a server, or perhaps just experiment with. My usual solution is FreeBSD jails. However, I’ve recently gotten interested in Ansible and AWS. There are quite a few advantages to installing infra with AWS, however the one I’m most interested in is automating the…
Understanding the Raspberry Pi – FreeBSD gpio device
Recently I found myself wanting to understand how I2C for FreeBSD ARM, on the Pi works. The first step is to understand the GPIO implementation on Pi, since on a Pi, I2C is implemented on the GPIO.

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.
