That's the question.

Using the FreeBSD support has a number of advantages but I admit that I
didn't know that support was in place. I have no idea what minimum
footprint using that implies even if you don't use the TCP IP stack.

In the cpukit there has long been support for a frame buffer device
framework and a mouse input parsing library. I expect the FreeBSD support
comes with specific device support that this is weak on.

But footprint is important. Any idea how large a simple non-networked
example would be with the FreeBSD code as a base?

And we need examples and howtos. If I didn't know about it, it isn't
reasonable to expect someone new to find it. :(
