Now this brings back memories again. As indicated by others there's no apparent freebsd port to the strongarm but there is a pretty well developed netbsd port sometimes called RiscBSD for historical reasons. Back in the early days of that port it was very nearly FreeBSD - Gary Palmer had already got some way with a freebsd port to the arm platform when I and a group of others started talking about RiscBSD ... but for various reasons we plumbed for NetBSD. A while ago the people involved in RiscBSD set up Causality (www.causality.com) largely, but not fully, due to the noises about NC related commercial possibilities for the team officially doing the netbsd/arm port. (I say the people because at this point I seemed to drop out of the picture). Causality has done various work for NCI/DEC and others and also has a joint venture in a company called ChalTech (www.chaltech.com) that is more hardware orientated and is just now releasing a strongarm/PCI/IDE/ATX/etc. board that will of course run NetBSD/Arm.
