Thank you for reporting this.

Though I believe this is easy to fix, febootstrap 3 wouldn't be very
useful on non-Linux based systems. Both the dependency resolver and the
initial /init for the appliance are quite Linux-specific.

As of 0.3.7-2, I have disabled building the package on kfreebsd and
hurd.

Cheers,

retitle 635284 Port to non-Linux platforms
thank you

Since version 3.7-2, the package has been restricted to Linux-based
architectures. It provides a minimal boot environment for booting an
installed kernel image in a VM.

Should somebody want to work on patches that enable febootstrap (and
ultimately libguestfs) on FreeBSD, I'd be happy to integrate them.

Cheers,
