Could you = give me some instructions? Although I familiar with FreeBSD on x86, I = believe there are huge differences between x86 and embedded system. FreeBSD/powerpc does not support MPC83xx out of the box at the moment, = so there's work required on both CPU level and peripheral drivers = support. We have some basic support for MPC5121 SoC, which is built around E300 = core (the same as inside MPC83xx) and shares elementary perihperals with = 83xx. This code however was just a demo quality, not ready for merging = with the repository and it's now rather oudated (needs rebasing against = current HEAD). Rafal
