Both for FreeBSD 10 as well as for FreeBSD 11. Feeling wild, I choose for FreeBSD 11 🙂 The image can be downloaded from the FreeBSD ftp-servers.

On a Debian GNU/Linux laptop I ran the command: bunzip2 FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20140811-r269824.img.bz2 Followed by: dd if=FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20140811-r269824.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M Be carefull when you issue this last command, when you got the of= part wrong, you might inreversable destroy things! Now you have a 1Gb big image on your SD card. Put the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and power up. The very first time you boot...
