Hey Glen,

there is a thread on the forums about the same topic:

http://forum.ipfire.org/index.php?topic=11153.0

Arne explained that he doesn't have the hardware on hand right know and
suggested that you try to use the latest firmware.

I personally don't have very much interest in the whole Raspberry Pi
topic because I think that the resources of that device are just not
sufficient to run IPFire decently.

So, I guess you just try it on your own. It's really easy. Feel free to
get back to us when you updated the RPi firmware and have issues with
booting the IPFire system.

Best,
-Michael
