I wonder if it's trying to use procfs, which isn't mounted by default in 
FreeBSD, and as a result reporting that /proc is empty (which is expected). 
You could try mounting procfs and see if the message goes away, which would 
answer the question -- however, we don't generaly advise mounting procfs 
unless it is required, as it is a deprecated feature.
