FreeBSD on the raspberry pi

Re:FreeBSD on the raspberry pi by klapinat0r on Sunday January 03, 2016 @08:57AM (#10830595)

While I haven't tried crochet, I have tried building my own RPi-B+ image. You mention in your guide that you'll post updates "when you have something", and judging by your post it seems you have.

Since I had difficulties compiling the zfs (and one other, which I don't recall) module, I'm wondering if you'd care to share your experience in your guide?

Kudos to your very well thoughtout and thorough guide.

I got it going a few days ago, have been meaning to update the guide and post some images so people can skip the compilation. Star the repo for updates.

You're probably thinking of the opensolaris module. There's a small patch to apply and some KERNCONF to trigger the module build but otherwise its straightforward -- once you know where to look!

Give crochet a try. I've used it recently to build a FreeBSD 11 image for RPi B+ recently and it just works.

Thanks. Yes it did build just fine. Now I just have to figure out what's "stalling" during boot.

It compiled with zfs and all fine though :)
