I've not yet gotten a booting image (partly because the serial cable seems insufficient to get any boot messages; I guess I need to connect an HDMI monitor as well?) > Great that you're moving this forwards!

Once it can handle a couple of boards and I'm convinced it's actually legible and useful to someone other than me, then it could go beside nanobsd. Someday, someday, I'd like to see this used to build "official FreeBSD releases" for some of these boards, but we've all got a bit of work ahead of us before we're ready for that. Needs a better name than beaglebsd, though; it aspires to so much more. ;-) Tim
