It supports serial console, netbooting, and wil reboot on loss-restore of
AC power I assume - these are the same things the ports cluster machines
requires and is available in the FreeBSD.org cluster.

I've also told Warner before, I'd be happy with a simulator and disk
image.  The ARM maintainers could periodically create tested updated disk
