Either a port or putting it into SGML form would be good. If it were SGML, we could integrate it into our tutorial section for online publication. > b) I'd like to write in my HOWTO also about filesystems in FreeBSD. Can you > help me?

You may wish to start here: http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html And also ask on doc@freebsd.org rather than -questions if you have doc specific questions or comments; the -questions mailing list is rather too general a list for this kind of discussion. > c) Few months ago I wrote BFS (UnixWare boot filesystem) Linux kernel > implementation.

There is small problem - I've > never developer anything to FreeBSD kernel. I think the people in -hackers would be quite interested to hear about this and possibly participate. Again, most of them don't read -questions though; too high volume! :) > d) I installed FreeBSD on extended partition using GRUB bootmanager (see GNU > homepage). Are you interested? We've been playing with GRUB for awhile, though if you have any new data to share concerning it, I'm sure there's interest also in -hackers.
