Hardware: Brand new Raspberry Pi B+
Software : FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20150217-r278906.img.bz2
Note 1: The FreeBSD image does not play with the green ACT LED. So this wasn't as bad as it first appeared.
Note 2: No output to the HDMI monitor. This was solved by adding:
to the config.txt in the DOS partition.
So now it boots and ultimately reaches the login prompt. Yay! Success however is short lived. There's no power to the USB ports or, obviously, the Network port. Studying the boot messages on the screen before they disappear I see:
Obviously that's the problem then, but how to solve it? Any ideas?
