I am working on a FreeBSD port for the BeagleBoard. I am far from having a complete system, but I wrote a temporary loader and I am slowly getting to rootfs mount time. I haven't published anything yet since my code is still embarrassingly hacky and incomplete, but feel free to contact me: I may already have something you could find useful to help you get started on your board. > Beyond that, I've just finished building a cross-binutils-2.19, and a > cross-gcc-4.3.1.

Not sure how far you went, but I decided to start compiling and booting the kernel before worrying about the userland :) Also, you have to be aware that the compiler used in the BSD build system is a bit different from the vanilla one. And afaik, gcc 4.3.x does not support the extensions required to build the FreeBSD kernel. I'm not sure how much work that is, but that's definitely an interesting task if you have the time to do it :) Cheers, Guillaumehelp
