This code however was just a demo quality, not ready for merging with the repository and it's now rather oudated (needs rebasing against current HEAD). Could you tell me how to access these code? I'd like take a look at them. BTW: Is there any general instructions for booting FreeBSD from U-boot? Thanks.

Could you give me some instructions? Although I familiar with FreeBSD on x86, I believe there are huge differences between x86 and embedded system. > > FreeBSD/powerpc does not support MPC83xx out of the box at the moment, so there's work required on both CPU level and peripheral drivers support. > > We have some basic support for MPC5121 SoC, which is built around E300 core (the same as inside MPC83xx) and shares elementary perihperals with 83xx.
