Currently FreeBSD doesn't get very far through the boot process on an EFIKA. I am working on tracking down why it is causing a panic early on however I have been busy with other commitments so this may take some time. If you do get an EFIKA it will still require work to port FreeBSD to. When I have time I will look at a patch sent to the NetBSD list regarding the way it calls OpenFirmware. The problem is the equivalent code in FreeBSD is written in C. Andrewhome | help
