Does FreeBSD have HAL?

solid/src/CMakeLists.txt offers the option to use "UDisks2/bsdisks backend instead of HAL to manage disk devices" on FreeBSD, but OFF by default.

So the default is the HAL backend, which however completely fails on CI:
https://build.kde.org/job/Frameworks/view/Platform%20-%20FreeBSDQt5.13/job/solid/job/kf5-qt5%20FreeBSDQt5.13/52/testReport/projectroot/autotests/halbasictest/
basically says that org.freedesktop.Hal is not running (on the system bus)

FreeBSD users: does `qdbus --system org.freedesktop.HalManager` work for you?
If it does, any idea what should be done on the CI to make that work there?

I'm really hoping for fully-green unittests one day, but FreeBSD isn't really helping with that :-)
