I am developing it on an Intel Assabet board, not the iPAQ, but the intention is that it will work on any SA-1100 or SA-1110 system. I can boot the kernel to the point where it attempts to mount the root device, but am having problems getting ethernet to work. I could certainly use some help writing extra device drivers. >I know that linux is already running well on ARM but I would really like >to see FreeBSD running in its place. NetBSD already runs on most ARM processors, just not the newer StrongARM ones. I would like to see (and work on) a FreeBSD StrongARM port though.
