No, no! People, don't event think 'bout porting FreeBSD to another
platform... ;-)
As You can see on http://www.openbsd.org/ and http://www.netbsd.org/
there is many platforms for OpenBSD and NetBSD. So what?
FreeBSD is more concentrated on one platform - and it's good and stable.

The question is - 
90% for that IBM has compiled they DB/2 binaries for sparc processor,
not for x86. But if I can found DB/2 binaries for Solaris/x86 - what I
need to emulate Solaris ? Where to look for information, where I should
ask Q's ?

Thanx!
