There's probably not a boot image on the CD, if that's what you mena. 
However, if there's a binary image of the update, depending on how they did 
it, it should be easy enough to write an updater for FreeBSD. If it 
actually runs on the on-card processors, writing something to flash them 
under FreeBSD would be almost trivial. (The i960's just need to be reset, 
and then dump it into a specific register. ARMs should have a similar 
capability.)
