Firstly, cisco makes a lot more than just routers.
Secondly, when it's embedded you will probably not know it's freebsd
or Linux or whatever. Cisco has a lot of Linux out there that you
don't know about. Some might become BSD based but you wouldn't see a
difference since you didn't know it was linux in the first place :-)

There is not any ONE os for cisco.  There are many and freeBSD will
in all probability not take over from them all. It's just another
arrow in the quiver.
