You don't say how you obtained your installation image in the first place. =
I have found the "crochet" tool is quite good. (https://github.com/freebsd/=
crochet)

It will cross-compile a kernel and userland for you from source, and then s=
pit out a .img ready to dd onto an SD card. You can tweak the default kerne=
l configuration ("GENERIC") to be better suited to your hardware platform.

There are hooks for you to install your own software onto the image as well=
.
