I'm an experienced programmer but not a kernel programmer, but am very willing to learn. Could someone please summarise the problem(s) standing in the way of getting FreeBSD running and production-ready on these environments and give me some pointers on how I could start hacking at the code? Thanks, Luke Marsden Hybrid Logic Ltd.
