Want to to free your SD card? Or put u-boot.imx to the internal flash.
Hi everyone! Think you already know, what framebuffer console already works on Genesi Efika MX Smartbook. So how to done that? Begin Now, since SD/MMC support still a bit broken we need not only SD card, but USB flash stick also.

Easy way to do it (try FreeBSD on Efika MX)
I wrote script, just to make your life a bit easy, in case you want to try FreeBSD on Genesi Efika MX of course :) MAKE_EFIKA_MX.sh - script itself __MAKE_EFIKA_MX_IMAGE.sh - wrapper to run script on md(memory disk) devices instead of real SD and USB flash.

Efika MX Smartbook, your first run
Since FreeBSD port currently not require any special features, then it’s possible to boot kernel from original (first) uboot. Fetch U-Boot image here http://people.freebsd.org/~ray/u-boot_efiks_mx_smartbook.imx Insert unused SD card WARNING! Check your /dev/da devices first, to not damage other cards, of SCSI HDD, or USB flash stick.
