Cisco 7940 on Asterisk FreeBSD

After a week of trial an error and reading oh so many guides I have finally managed to get these phones to work. First thing is first to enable the built in tftp server that comes along with FreeBSD.
#nano /etc/inetd.conf
scroll down to where it says tftp and uncomment those two lines by deleting the # at the begining of them. Now save the file. Incase your computer dosn't load inetd on startup do the following.
#nano /etc/rc.conf
and add the following line
inetd_enable="YES"
and save the file, and reboot your computer. Next create the default tftp directory
#mkdir /tftpboot
Next move to the new dir
#cd /tftpboot
I really recommend using this cisco sip firmware, you can get it by using wget
#wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~graver1/cisco/SIP-7960/P0S3-08-8-00.zip
Once its done downloading you need to unzip it.
#unzip P0S3-08-8-00.zip
The zip file contains 5 files
OS79XX.TXT
P003-08-8-00.bin
P003-08-8-00.sbn
P0S3-08-8-00.loads
P0S3-08-8-00.sb2
Next you have to create a SIPDefault.cnf file
#nano SIPDefault.cnf
This is what mine contains.

You are also going to need another file called SIPMAC.cnf all letters in the mac address have to be CAPITAL. Here is mine
#nano SIP000C85F059F8.cnf
# Cisco SIP Configuration

Now it is time to boot the phone I would really recommend reseting it to factory defaults to do this when it powers on the headset light comes on hold down # then when the speaker light goes off put in this key combination 123456789*0# the phone will ask you if you want to reset it press 2 to continue. The phone will boot up three times at most. I had an old version of the firmware for you can see what is going on it will boot mine said
Cisco System Inc 2000-2005
Then its said
Verifying load
Upgrading app
Reboot
Cisco System Inc 2000-2007
Verifying load
Upgrading app
Reboot
Cisco System Inc 2000-2006
Sip
Now your configuration will be loaded.
