I am assembling a very weird system which supposed to be very quite and low power cosuming and work on 24x7 bases. As an OS i am planning to use FreeBSD (the box is something like home multimedia system: MP3 player, CD player, Radio, Termometer. Input: a small keypad in one of the 5,25" bays and output via 20x4 LCD with LED backlight. Currently i am working on the hardware, but soon i'll need some software too. So, i need to know how to power down the hdd (it is a very cheap, small HDD which is used to boot the system and then it must be powerd down). Also, I need to know if there is some software for controlling FM radio cards. And the last: i need some sample on how to access port in fbsd, since i need to write some controlling software for the lcd, termometer and probably the FM card.
