I have put FreeBSD (6.2 I think) on 2950-s.   It worked fine.
The only problem was some confusion about the raid driver identifier.
I needed to do some rummaging through dmesg and it was not at first
obvious as it was a little unnoticed line amidst lots of others that
looked more likely.   But, I found it and had no problems after that.

Unfortunately I had to give those machines up to another project and
can't look and see what it was now.
