I assume you're talking about the Intel IA64, AKA "Merced"? We're supposed to receive hardware on Friday and begin the port in earnest then. We've also spent some time (well, a full day so far) being briefed on this technology by Intel and have most of the materials we need to start, it's just down to getting actual hardware now. IA64 systems are still very scarce and I have to wonder how you've managed to get *five* of the suckers. You a close, personal friend of Andy Grove or something? :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
