Please send info. > Also. I would like to know if FreeBSD is available for the PowerPC. I have a "Motorolla Ultra 603" based box. This is a loaner from a company interested in a FreeBSD port. The port of the kernel itself is ~60% complete... I have a ~$220 charge by Arrow Electronics on my VISA for the PPCBug documentation I need to fix the console and native boot code (to get rid of AIX entirely), but so far no documentation. This board is the same board in the Motorolla PowerStack and the OEM "FirePower" systems. I also have an official developer ID from "Be, Inc." and email assurances from Gassee that porting information for their hardware (a dual processor 603 box) will be available. Jean Loius Gassee is their main guy. I can get a limited amount of hardware at a steep discount. Let me know if you are serious AND capable of helping on a port. You should have Intel hardware and room for full NetBSD sources in addition to the FreeBSD sources on your reference box before you consider requesting to participate. They are overcommitted on box sales already, so only people willing to drop ~$1700 or more on hardware need apply. We may not get all of the requested hardware.
