Add support for FreeBSD #60

Open yzgyyang opened 6 years ago

Hey, I've been watching this repo and seeing FreeBSD in the WIP for quite a while. May I know what the current state is for FreeBSD and are there any immediate roadblocks that the community could potentially help with?

Hi, thanks for your interest!

I'd love to get FreeBSD working in chrx, but I just haven't been able to work on it for a while now.

Hardware support is likely limited, although I have had good luck with FreeBSD 11 on Haswell devices (PEPPY and ZAKO).

So no: no specific known roadblocks. The process should be pretty straightforward -- untar a base image onto a prepared partition, install the bootloader, and then let the user take it from there.
