Hi! Thank you for creating glim, what a gem :)

Can I use glim to boot FreeBSD distribution like Opnsense? I'd appreciate any help

I think the issue is that FreeBSD (and derivatives) don't support scanning and loopback-mounting ISO images after kernel+initrd are loaded, so its not currently possible. The only case that could work is the FreeBSD "bootonly" image since it loads everything from that initrd, nothing after that. See https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/boot-freebsd-iso-from-grub2-usb-stick.19701/
