An alternative is to have the kernel in a fat partition and load it directl= y from u-boot. =E2=80=8ENot sure if that works with a pine64 board but it w= orks with other platforms. Not ideal if you want to manage your kernel from= the local system, but it gets you a booting board perhaps?

Thanks to the sysutils/u-boot-pine64 port I already got a working SPL that starts U-Boot. The normal way to continue booting a image built by Crochet is to start ubldr. But at the moment there is no arm64 version of ubldr in the tree. The only thing I found about this is this diff: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D5512 . It has been lying around there since March and the last comments state that the changes are unnecessary now for the RPI3 because a way has been found to boot on a RPI3 without U-Boot. Now I have two questions: 1. Is there a chance for the diff to make it into the tree? Although it is no longer needed for the RPI3 it may be needed by other boards. 2. As an alternative: What is this mysterious way to boot without U-Boot and may this be possible for other boards like the Pine64?
