Hi folks,
   I found little or no info on making FreeBSD work on IA64 or on Ski,
so put up a wiki page at
   http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/FreeBSDInstallHowTo

I'd appreciate comments and corrections --- coming from mostly a
Linux-on-IA64 background, there's a lot of stuff that's different, and
I'm feeling my way.

In particular, how do I set up the network device on the Ski
simulator?  ifconfig -a shows only the loopback device.

I'm aiming eventually at getting a virtualised freeBSD running on top
of IA64 Linux.
