No, the port is just beginning to show activity, after quite a long pause due to lacking documentation for the hardware Digital donated. It will take a few months (at least) before the alpha port with the FreeBSD kernel is ready. Presently, I believe the port is fairly close to bootstrapping with a NetBSD kernel, but that isn't a "real port" (even though it will make it _feel_ like FreeBSD wrt what commands do etc). Eivind.
