Can you link more info about Sony's devkits using FreeBSD? BSD would've been a strange choice as the Playstation 1 debuted on December 3rd, 1994. "FreeBSD 1" came out just 13 months earlier The Playstation 2 "TOOL" machines ran Red Hat for some of them, which was a bit more mature by 2001 The Playstation 3 and 4 though both run Net and FreeBSD under the hood internally though

The Playstation 1 "TOOL" actually ran windows [1]. A large success of the the PS1 however was the the "twin ISA" card dev kit, which could be plugged into any PC-Compatible for PS1 development, which drastically lowered the cost of development for the PS1. Also BSD != FreeBSD, BSD 4.3 Net/1 (the first BSD released under the BSD license instead of containing AT&T code) was released in 1989.
