Hi there,
I'm trying to get FreeBSD 10 or -CURRENT running on a Raspberry Pi Model B+ (2014). I initially followed this tutorial: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry Pi , realizing too late that I'd missed the following information:
The way I was thinking of solving this was by simply compiling FreeBSD myself, but FreeBSD doesn't support my laptop's graphics/network hardware, so I'd have to cross-compile from Linux -- as far as I can tell, that's a nightmare that I don't want to get into right now. Are there binaries/images for the Raspberry Pi B+ already in existence somewhere?
Or should I rent time on a FreeBSD machine "in the cloud" and follow these instructions: http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=275?
Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

2013-12-12: Please notice that there is a new version if the RPi out, called the "micron", recognizable by the "M with orbit" logo on the chip. These require the newest firmware files (bootcode.bin, start.elf and possibly config.txt) None of the prebuilt images have these at this time, and trying to boot them gives you a single short flash of the green LED and no more.
