If you want to do this, I strongly suggest you give mickey a hand in getting the fledgling OpenBSD/hppa port up and going. He already has a headstart there, and it should be substantially easier to port hppa support over from OpenBSD than developing it from scratch. The FreeBSD/alpha folks certainly drew heavily from NetBSD/alpha. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
