I'm looking to run FreeBSD on this processor... Does anyone have any experience using this CPU (or any other VIA cpu, for that matter)?

Via PV530 should be i386 compatible, and FreeBSD/i386 should just work
here. I have no experience with this CPU, but I have MiniITX board from
WYSE V90 (http://www.parkytowers.me.uk//thin/wyse/vx0/V90board.shtml):

CPU: VIA Nehemiah (1000.06-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x698  Family = 0x6  Model = 0x9
Stepping = 8
Features=0x381b03f<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
VIA Padlock Features=0xdd<RNG,AES>

this is 1 GHz Eden ESP CPU, and NanoITX board VIA EPIA-N5000EG:

CPU: VIA Nehemiah (533.37-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x69a  Family = 0x6  Model = 0x9
Stepping = 10
Features=0x381ba3f<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
VIA Padlock Features=0xdc<RNG,AES>

and this is 500 MHz Luke CoreFusion CPU, just Eden-N CPU integrated
with North Bridge in simgle package.

There is nothing special with them - and I believe with PV530, too -
just use FreeBSD/i386 standard kernel. I use them for testing FreeBSD
on lower powerfull hardware, my boards are both fanless, so no noise
from running them anywhere.

Regards,
Milan
