Hi! Thank you for creating glim, what a gem :)

Can I use glim to boot FreeBSD distribution like Opnsense? I'd appreciate any help

I think the issue is that FreeBSD (and derivatives) don't support scanning and loopback-mounting ISO images after kernel+initrd are loaded, so its not currently possible. The only case that could work is the FreeBSD "bootonly" image since it loads everything from that initrd, nothing after that.
