Hi Piotr, Unfortunately its not possible to boot freebsd with the libreboot images due= to libreboot not have a binary blob vga bios & seabios payload. You should be able to run freebsd without issue using coreboot however (libr= eboot is a consumer of coreboot which produces images without any close comp= onents). I've managed to reflash a stock x60s with coreboot & run net/free & dragonfl= ybsd on there. I don't believer the laptops are modified physically in anyway & just have t= heir bios reflashed, might be worth asking them if you can get a laptop with= coreboot+vgabios+seabios. Alternatively, just get a thinkpad x200 & diy. You may have to resort to using linux for the initial flash. If it goes wrong & provided you made backup images before starting, you can r= ecover without issue using a raspberry pi or a beaglebone black as your repr= ogrammer & the flashrom utility. Dmesg of the x60s running coreboot is on the wiki & freebsd-acpi@ Regards Sevan / Venture37=
