You'll see the hacked Android version which the developer has provided.

Android remains the OS for the phone.  FreeBSD does not have the requiired
proprietary driver blobs which are used by Android and I greatly doubt
that FreeBSD running in a KVM will have access to all (or any) of the
these hardware elements.

Click on raspiduino/a6lte-kvm in the upper left corner of the github
link.  This will take you to the source repository which has a long
document about his hack.  Read it.
