Special thanks to Yohanes Nugroho & Greg Ansley for the fantastic work
they have done with the FreeBSD port to the AT91SAM9G20. Great to see
FreeBSD gaining more traction in the embedded World :)

I have a couple of questions,

(1) I noticed a significant performance boost under Linux when Linux ARM
moved to EABI, are there any plans for a EABI FreeBSD version?

(2) I can build a Linux image which contains the Kernel and a root file
system in one file which is great for network booting, can I do
something similar with FreeBSD?
