Yes, FreeBSD 7.1 has working Flash9 support. To install it on your system:
- Add linux_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.
- Add compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to /etc/sysctl.conf.
- Add OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 to /etc/make.conf.
- Add this line to /etc/fstab:
linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
Then run these commands:
# mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc
# mount /usr/compat/linux/proc
# /etc/rc.d/abi start
# /etc/rc.d/sysctl start
Once you have done the above, your system is ready for the installation. Install the following ports:
# portinstall linux_base-f8
# portinstall linux-flashplugin9
# portinstall nspluginwrapper
Invoke nspluginwrapper and follow the instructions to enable all available plugins:
# nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

Open Firefox 3 and insert "about:plugins" in the address bar. You should see a section titled "Shockwave Flash" with information about your newly installed flash plugin.
If flash is not detected, close firefox and run:
> cd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins
> ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so ./npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Open Firefox 3 and visit "about:plugins" again. You should now see a section titled "Shockwave Flash" with information about your newly installed flash plugin.
