FreeBSD on an Acer Aspire One Netbook

[This is a work in progress]


I have successfully installed FreeBSD 8 on the following Acer Aspire One netbook models:

Acer Aspire One D250-1990 - firewall/webserver/mailserver/webcache - FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE

Acer Aspire One P531h-1791 - Xorg desktop - FreeBSD 8-STABLE (as of April 13 2010)
