No.
You can't boot from the parallel-port drives, but that's a feature of the
PC not expecting to be able to boot from a printer rather than a FreeBSD
issue.
I've personally booted FreeBSD from the old, old ATA Zip drives, the
ATAPI ones and of course the SCSI drives, in both whole-disk and
sliced (as from the factory) modes.
