Still, which FindFirst are you talking about - that one from unit Dos, or
that one from unit SysUtils?

No, you don't need any "UnixError". Dos.FindFirst returns errors in
DosError for all platforms (it's a compatibility unit after all).
SysUtils.FindFirst should return the error in its return value directly. I
don't know whether the implementation for FreeBSD does it correctly at the
moment, but that's how it's supposed to work, at least (=> enter it in the
bug tracker if it doesn't do work like that).
