FreeBSD doesn't use initrd. Its bootloader loads kernel modules directly
from disk (unfortunately, it doesn't work on PowerNV).
But it's possible to build a minimum disk image and make FreeBSD load it
as a ramdisk, by passing it through QEMU's -initrd (even though it's not
an initrd). By default FreeBSD builds a program called rescue, that is
similar to busybox, that would help when building a minimum image.
