Hello all,
I have been having varying degrees of success with running FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi. I am running a "B" board and Debian, Rasbmc and openELEC all run flawlessly.
I have followed the following procedure:
What happens:
First boot: no video but the lights flash (I can ping the box and SSH is alive if I wait long enough).
Second boot: no video and lights flashing (I can ping the box and SSH is alive if I wait long enough).
Third boot is either: FreeBSD Pi complains of a dirty shutdown and I boot into FreeBSD Pi or I get video, but the FreeBSD bootloader cant find the kernel.
Fourth boot: no video.
I have tried this entire process at least four times with different sized SD cards. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

I have followed the following procedure:
- Download the FreeBSD RasberryPi image located here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/.
- Extract the .BZ2 file with 7Zip.
- Use Win32 Disk Imager http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ to write the image to an SD Card (I tried both 16 GB and 32 GB).
- Apply keyboard, video and power.
