Actually, the fp_install.sh file uses "uname -a" to find what version of
*nix you're using...  I had this problem temporarily, but just modified the
script, adding the following line into the case statement.  After the line:

     BSD/OS*)         machine="bsdi" ;;

add:

     FreeBSD*)         machine="bsdi" ;;

and re-run the fp_install.sh script.  The FrontPage server extensions will
install using the bsdi tar file.
