cloud-init for some reason doesn't recognize distro settings and try to use Linux-specific command ('glabel' or 'gpart show' for FreeBSD should be used).

Also, when media found, further work leads to:

--
init.py[WARNING]: apply_network_config is not currently implemented for distribution '<class 'cloudinit.distros.freebsd.Distro'>'. Attempting to use apply_network

user-data also ignored.

I know that you are not interested in supporting FreeBSD on your own, but why do you hinder the community from improving your product? There are patches to support FreeBSD from different people. Therefore, this issue is also called “feature request” to support FreeBSD. Some large cloud / hosting organizations provide their clients with the FreeBSD platform.
