I happen to use an old Mac OS X laptop to monitor the serial connection,
not FreeBSD. Even the software I use is from the App Store (better =
drivers
from what I read).

So I've not tried such with FreeBSD and have no observation
of what works vs. does not.

Before I tried FreeBSD on the BPi-M3 I tried an Official Linux for
it. http://www.banana-pi.org/m3-download.html I knew up front that
there were no FreeBSD snapshot images or other such and I did not
want to confuse DOA power supplies or a DOA board or such with
problematical software builds/installations.

I tested the serial connection, HDMI, USB keyboard/mouse, and
Ethernet so I'd know what worked vs. what did not and that I
had my environment well set up. I know that, for example,
FreeBSD does not do HDMI yet for the BPi-M3. (All the more
important to check it up front.)
