Sorry, I haven't read through the whole thread. I am not exactly sure what you are looking for, so I will just let you know how I run Oracle on FreeBSD. I haven't run an install since 8.x.x, since they went to the Java installer. I could never get it to stop locking up. So I copied a 9.2 directory from one of our linux servers. We install in the standard /u01/app/oracle/product/, I put the directory structure in /usr and created a /u01 link. The oracle user on my system does have the linux bash as its default shell, I only use this userid for running CreateDBs. Everything works great running with my standard userid and I also install gqlplus & sqldeveloper (very useful). I have a start up script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, which starts up the listener and the db. I haven't had a need to upgrade to 10.x, but I am going to soon.
