Have been using IPMI on PE2850 without problems. Although i have not 
performed any extensive testing on the functionality, it appears correct 
and i have had no trouble with it.

I have used /usr/ports/sysutils/ipmitool on 6.1.
/usr/ports/sysutils/ipmi-kmod is either available as ports module or in 
base system on some versions of FreeBSD.
