Thanks for making this project.

I think that this (or something like it) should become part of the official FreeBSD installer.

NomadBSD was able to boot me into a working Xorg on every machine I tried so far, including Intel and Nvidia.

Thanks for the link. The script now offers a driver selection screen, but I decided against auto detection. I took a good look at their config files though and learned a lot.
