Do a web search for NASM.  It gives you Dos syntax, a variety of object
formats, does both 16 and 32 bit assembly, and has a help file.  FreeBSD
is a different operating system, so there will be differences in the code
you write (native 32 bit, different system calls).  Be sure to get the
source and not the Dos executables; it should compile without any problem.
