Hi!
Thanks a lot for your hint.

Need to buildworld is rare and usually noted in UPDATING and kernel config files. make buildkernel will be much faster, and even faster if you strip out junk you don't need from the kernel config, which also speeds booting and saves ram.
I needed the buildworld to create a jail with ezjail. I only tested this once on the RPi. It's better to use cross-compiling.
To build a custom kernel isn't only faster, it also saves energy. On a Linux box I can power a RPI-B with around 400 mA. With the snapshot kernel it needs definitely more. If I strip out all unneeded components from the kernel config, it should use the same amperage.
Latest snapshots are here if they help avoid a build... https://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2016/freebsd-snapshots/20161225.freebs... ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/
Thanks, I always use the latest snapshots for the RPi.
