I've been able to boot 13.4 on my BBG, albeit with some complaining from 
the kernel and what appears to be horrifically-slow SD card I/O. I've 
got a TFTP/NFS server but haven't tried booting/mountroot via that path 
just yet.

I'll take a look at -current and the Linux device tree files for this 
board. I'm familiar enough with device trees (having used SunOS and 
Solaris on many things sun4c, 4m, .. back in my admin days).
