Hay watch this! lol
Okay, but seriously. I have butchered my Chromebook. It's not an ARM system, just to head that off.
-I'm having a problem with my USB ports and mouse.
-I wiped out the factory firmware and installed Coreboot.
-I couldn't install FreeBSD from the memstick IMG or the ISO. It kept crashing at mountroot. I couldn't get past that, so I used a knoppix disk to dd it's internal mmcblk0 to an external disk, converted that to a vdi and added the image to a virtualbox VM. So, I installed FreeBSD 11.1 to that VM, converted the vdi back to RAW, and used dd to write it back to mmmcblk0 on my CB. When I booted up I hit the mountroot problem again, but was able to get past that and update my fstab, and get my wifi working with iwm7260fw. Great
-Then I went through some fits getting X11 to work. But, I got past that, and installed xfce4.
- Now, I'm really stuck. The mouse doesn't work. And, then on further investigation, I have found that none of the USB ports are working. I can see /dev/sysmouse, but can't find a "mouse" device in /dev, or in pciconf -lv, or dmesg. I do see my keyboard at atkbdc0, and I see an atkbd0. But... IDK, I'm just not sure where else to take it.
-With no USB ports, I haven't setup a way to move dmesg or conf files off so I can load them here. In the mean time:

-- Intel Celeron N2940 Processor (Bay Trail)
-- Intel HD Graphics
-- Intel Atom Z36xxx/Z37xxx
Oh, and uh... This is my first week with FreeBSD, so it seems like I'm out of my depth, I probably am. Anyway, I sure hope someone out there can help me get my mouse working
