I'll go upload my cross-build scripts for -HEAD. It's actually really
easy to cross-build a world/kernel install; you can then cherry pick
binaries, libraries, etc to populate an MDROOT.
(Or if you're interested, install onto a USB hard disk and run a
"real" FreeBSD/mips live environment. :)

The major failing atm is a complete lack of flash filesystem support.
Well, the major major failing atm is "better" looking flash IO support
to write/port a flash filesystem from. I "just" boot the kernel+mdroot
from the onboard flash (and TFTP bootstrap things when testing.)
