It supports serial console, netbooting, and wil reboot on loss-restore of AC power I assume - these are the same things the ports cluster machines requires and is available in the FreeBSD.org cluster. I've also told Warner before, I'd be happy with a simulator and disk image. The ARM maintainers could periodically create tested updated disk images for committers to download. > People have boards and want to get things running. This is slowing us down. Such people cannot apply a patch [or the usual responce: use perforce]? I really don't think this is an insurmountable thing slowing down ARM kernel development by those skilled enough to be involved at this point. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
