I wonder why you choose FreeBSD because ATOM N270 has a Hyper-threading
and hence support a parallel processing. However, on FreeBSD with SMP 
kernel,
ACPI suspend/resume is not possible.  For netbook, suspend/resume shold 
be important.
Most of popular OS except for FreeBSD,  support a suspend/resume with 
parallel processing,
 eg. Windows, Linux. I recomend you to reconsider.

Cheers,
T.I.
