I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't confirm that.

There are many clones of the original HAL 9000. I myself am a Linux
multi-boot HAL 9000 from Germany. There used to be a FreeBSD HAL 9000
right where I am standing now. Undoubtedly, there are still FreeBSD HAL
9000 clones elsewhere on this planet today.

$ grep "HAL 9000" -A2 /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry " -- HAL 9000-m1 -----------------------------------------------------------------" {
        true
}

Regards,
HAL 9000-m1
