Take a look at ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/sparc64 for the kernel source. The various build tools they have in the tree are in the tree also, and you may want to use them as a basis for the equivalent tools for FreeBSD. Here is some infor Warner Losh posted to freebsd-hackers a couple of weeks ago in reference to a freebsd-arm port. Hopefully it can help point you in the right direction for this effort: --- : Also, some pointers as to what are the main steps for doing such a port : (FreeBSD port as a whole) would be greatly appreciated. Step one, get build tools working. Step two-a, get the kernel working Step two-b, get userland working Step three boot. For kernel breakage, see step two-a, for userland breakage, see step two-b :-) You'll need to have at least some of the kernel files in place before you can build a userland. Trying to build the user land will tell you what is missing :-). --- Good luck, continue to post if you need more info, etc. -- Kyle Mestery StorageTek's Storage Networking Group To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
