FreeBSD on the Mini

Greetings,
I just installed FreeBSD on my mac mini (it's the second try actually),
and I have a few issues that I haven't been able to solve by myself.
First of all, I'm unable to start xorg.Whenever I launch xorgcfg,
startx, xdm etc., I get the following error.
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.so: Unsupported relocation type 6
in non-PLT relocations
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.so
(EE) RADEON: Failed to load module "fb" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
The kernel is compiled from source. Besides the debugging options
removed, it's a vanilla GENERIC.
I think this is related to xorg 6.9, because the first time I tried
FreeBSD/ppc, about one or two months ago,
I didn't notice this problem. Should I try with a 6.0-RELEASE ports tree ?
Second question: is there any audio support ? It looks like sound
related code is not compiled in the kernel or as modules.
In any case, I wouldn't know what driver to add to the kernel config
file, given that pciconf doesn't show any sound device.
Finally: how do I set OpenFirmware to boot FreeBSD automatically ?
I wrote
setenv boot-device hd:2,\loader
setenv boot-file hd:4
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be enough to have it boot by itself (
a simple "boot" from the console will work though ).
I guess I should set "boot-command" to the right value too, but I don't
know what it is. Any idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Marco
