Well, since no one seems to have replied yet, I can offer you a
pointer to the Linux Assembly-HOWTO.  I'm guessing that most of it
applies to FreeBSD as well.  Something you can do to work out the
FreeBSD specifics is write a very simple C program and compile it
with "cc -S".  The "-S" switch tells cc to compile your program
but not to assemble it.  The assembly listing is written with an
extention of ".s".
