Stuart answered you with this:  It's on a gpio line, some OS have
support for using it without even C programming (e.g. gpioctl in
OpenBSD, /dev/led/error in FreeBSD)


Searching Google would be a good start: /dev/led/error Freebsd

This returns pages of good info, including lots of good stuff from
Poul-Henning Kamp.

I just tried "$man led" in FreeBSD 5.5 and it is in there.
