Hi

I would like to use Bitrig on an ARM board - Freescale iMX6Q SABRE Board for 
Smart Devices. Patrick helped quite a bit and though we could boot the kernel 
we could not get networking going. 


I have in the (distant) past been comfortable tinkering with Linux source on 
x86 but BSDs and cross compiling is unfamiliar to me. Any pointers would help a 
lot:

My only machine (other than the development board) is a Mac running OS X. Would 
it be possible to compile Bitrig source on OS X ?

If that is not possible, I can perhaps do this on a virtual machine. I have 
Bitrig 1.0 installed and running on a Parallels VM. Unfortunately Parallels 
does not allow me to access the physical devices of my machine when running 
Bitrig (works when Parallels is running Linux). Anyone else with a similar set 
up able to transfer files from the Bitrig VM to host?

Are there instructions on how to cross compile Bitrig to ARM? 

To boot on ARM I think I would have to build a rootfs of some kind - that 
includes uboot and the kernel? Any pointers on how to construct one of those 
would be very helpful

Thank you
Hrishi
