Hi,

Hey Jules, I see you've restarted this old project again, I'm curious
what the current status of it is. I recall reading about this on
daemonnews. I've been looking at the state of the various freenix
projects on the sgimips platform, and, so far, it seems Linux is the
most advanced one. NetBSD's support is currently not bad, they support
the SCSI, ethernet and serial port, but no keyboard or console support
yet. So, what are your ideas for this? It should be relatively easy to
get the minimal hardware support by looking at how NetBSD is doing it,
then have a look at Linux' code and get some ideas. I've got an old
R4000 Indy I'd be very pleased to hack on. 

Cheers,
