NanoBSD reved up for embedded

NanoBSD Enhancements

I've been experimenting with NanoBSD enhancements for embedded. Eventually, they will be in the mainline of NanoBSD, but for now I've segregated them in a separate embedded subdir. The goal is to drive creation of build-agnostic tools to help build images for the different systems that FreeBSD supports. I have a mix of embedded boards and qemu configurations. Many don't work, but I hit a milestone tonight. I was able to boot an image on my RPi built without privs using NanoBSD.

To try it out, you'll need to grab FreeBSD-current and from the top of the tree do
cd tools/tools/nanobsd/embedded
sh ../nanobsd.sh -c rpi.cfg

This will create a directory at the same level as your top level FreeBSD source called rpi-b. Under it will be obj/_.disk.image.rpi-b. You can dd this onto a SD card (any size) and boot it on your RPi-B. It will resize the last partition to span the rest of the disk on boot and be a generic system. There's still a few problems, and I'm still working out how to get packages onto the system at build time, but its useful enough that people may want to play with it. Enjoy.

P.S. Here's a dmesg from the boot:
