And I'd like to thank you very much for that! :-)
 
I finally got around to installing it, what with have an unexpected
few spare months of time on my hands.  I managed to dump my
old A1200 HDD to a file and eventually got it to boot after a trip
down memory lane figuring out how to edit startup-sequence
and user-startup to remove things like the SCSI drivers.  
 
There was one issue when I upgraded FreeBSD 11.3 --> 11.4.
fs-uae would crash out immediately the main window opened.
Even after doing a pkg upgrade -f I still ended up having to
manually build some related graphics libraries before it would
work again (Sorry, I didn't keep notes, IIRC it was mesa stuff)
 
So now all I need to do is find a cheap gamepad that will work
with it on FreeBSD :-)
 
If anyone is interested, you can download the Assassin Games CDs
full of PD games from archive.org (and much other Amiga related
goodness.  They boot and play just fine on fs-uae assuming you
have the correct ROM file(s))
 
Sorry if that last bit came over as a bit of a commercial but it's
years since I even plugged my old A1200 in, let alone played
games on it.
