From the intro:
Long-time readers of my blog know of my love for Drobo, but the time has come to say goodbye. My old Drobos (and Iomega ix-4) are showing their age and I decided to go in a different direction: I’m building a FreeNAS server. In this article I’ll talk about my thinking behind this move; later posts will talk in more detail about the hardware and software setup.
Let’s wait until there’s an article actually talking about the build process.
He links to his first build post in the post OP posted.

He doesn’t get to other parts of his choice though. A little light of an article.
Ah, good find!
Yes, fair enough - wasn’t sure if I should wait for all of them or start with the first one.
Fun little read, I always love finding out how people unintentionally get into FreeBSD :)
