Last time I tried it, I bumped into many different problems.  FreeBSD
3.4 boot disk would actually boot in the emulator but could not detect
any hard drives.  Current at the time, would find the hard drives with
the new ata driver but the boot disk would not boot in the emulator
(got around this by using the loader on the 3.4 boot disks).
Unfortunately, current of the time, would not detect the network card
which I really needed.  From my experience, I can see Connectix saying
FreeBSD is *not* compatible.
