The QFA 700 is QIC-02, so it should work with the wt0 driver, provided you can find a jumper-configured controller to use it with. Most QFA 700's I've seen come with a software configured controller, so you'd have to set up your FreeBSD machine to boot dos, run any configuration software, then boot FreeBSD. I've seen this done with Linux, but not FreeBSD, no reason it can't be done that I know of.
