sorry, i don't have the time to wait for my post to appear on gmane.
i wrote the original tiny little patch for openOCDs fbsd support, and
i just checked the current SVN sources:  they are still there, and they
should work, although i only used bitbanging on the parallel port.

note that openOCD is still very actively developed, you should
definitely use the SVN repo.  the only thing you might need is this:

  #!/bin/sh
  # bootstrap.fbsd
  aclocal19 &&
  autoheader259 &&
  automake19 --gnu --add-missing &&
  autoconf259

because the linux versions don't carry version numbers in their names...

i understand that USB is better specified than the parallel port.
you might get away without patching anything, just using the correct
"./configure ..." incantation for your FT* chip based interface.

please report back with success/failure and what you had to do to get it
to work.  also, there's a wiki[1] where people collect configuration
information, you can check there for your controller, and please update
any missing pieces.  last year the "edit page" link needed a login, and
the creating an account wasn't automatic, you'd need to tell dominic to
list you up.

other than that, openOCD worked fairly well, it should work even better
using USB.
