-					BSD systems require a full Video BIOS, which libreboot lacks (there is a free replacement
-					on all current systems, but it lacks certain features that GNU/Linux doesn't require).
-					Translation: X11 won't work in BSD.
-				</p>
-				<p>
-					It may be possible to get a serial console, but beyond that, BSD is useless on libreboot systems.
-				</p>
-				<p>
 					For the most part, BSD systems remain untested in libreboot.
 					BSD systems <a href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html">contain blobs</a>, so do beware.

+                    Anecdotal reports indicate that NetBSD should be compatible,
+                    as should OpenBSD 5.9 or higher (libertyBSD might also work).
+                    It is unknown whether other BSD distributions are compatible
+                    with libreboot at this time.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                    The BSD community in general is quite hostile towards the
+                    GNU project, and being permissively licensed (they believe
+                    that companies should be able to sell proprietary forks),
+                    it is less than ideal philosophically, from the libreboot
+                    project's point of view.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                    Libreboot will not officially document how to install or
+                    boot BSD on a libreboot system. You must consult with your
+                    BSD distribution provider, for more information.
