You have to configure your kernel to include SYSV Semaphores, as
I said before. cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and grep for SYSV
in the LINT config file. Add these lines to your config file,
configure and make a new kernel, and reboot. Now, use a program
that creates semaphores, then ipcs -s.

FreeBSD has no equivalent of the "stupid piece of SMIT." I am not a
fan of SMIT, it has one of the most annoying user interfaces I've ever
seen. To learn more about system administration on a BSD system, see
the Nemeth, Seebas et. al. book and the FreeBSD man pages on sysctl.
A *good*, X-based system administration tool would be nice to have. ;^)
