From 61f66a46eab2480d45b14a14889e082678daaa80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Chin Date: Wed, 1 May 2024 20:20:24 -0600 Subject: dell-flash-unlock: Update README for BSD Add FreeBSD to the README as it is now supported. Make a note about using gmake instead of make as the makefile currently uses GNU extensions to determine build flags based on the OS.
