Well I have only worked with a couple of arm boards (none of which had
any support for BSD) and they all came with instructions on how to
install linux from the manufacturer.  Normally evaluation boards do.  Of
course if they don't support linux then that makes life much harder.

 Only the CF-Card slot!
 
 Booting on an arm almost never involves a boot sector on disk.  It tends
 to have settings in some internal flash that contains the kernel and
 ramdisk and settings to use.
 
 Perhaps if you mentioned which machine you have someone would happen to
 know what the boot process on it is.
