First reading through the documentation and then trying to get the instruction simulator running. Unfortunately, the ISS is only available as binary RPM - but that shouldn't stop us. The ISS is available here: http://www.x86-64.org/downloads BTW: I know a few of the persons at Virtutech (the guys behind Simics - the other simulator). Let me try and see if they would be interested in letting the FreeBSD project have access in some way to their ISS. The worst that could possibly happen is that we get a "no way". -- Cheers!
