According to another email I saw come through, getting FreeBSD to recognize ANY of the onboard devices (except the network card) is extremely unlikely.  I’m disappointed that TeamLinux is so much further ahead than TeamBSD on this, but given the relative marketshare of each team, I can’t say I’m surprised.  :-(

It's not only about market share. Do not forget IBM itself poured a lot 
of money into Linux including Linux on POWER. You can't compare any BSD 
team resources with resource of Big Blue...
