NCOS 2.0 as used on client NCs is NetBSD based and I'd be fairly amazed if
there was any use of FreeBSD over NetBSD on other related products. I used
to be involved in NetBSD/ARM (or RiscBSD as it's often called) which is
sort of the root of NCOS 2.0 for the Arm based NC - somehow wound up not
being involved by the time NCI got the group to work on NCOS2.0 so I'm not
fully up to date on things. Don't know but I wouldn't be at all surprised
if there was a port oracle to it given the connection between oracle and NCI.

BTW - how much was the server?
