The current state of FreeBSD on the plug is the following: - all connectivity of the device is supported (Ethernet, USB), except = for SD/MMC (the driver is already written and works, but has not been = committed to the public tree, as it needs to be cleaned up a bit, which = I haven't gotten around to yet) - the above applies to both 8-STABLE and HEAD > So, I'd especially like to know which devices work and where > installation is possible, both in 8-STABLE and 9-CURRENT, and if > someone already made a binary distribution of some kind. The wiki [3] fully applies, it only shows example snippets from some dev = boards; all other details are valid for the SP case. The wiki only shows = netbooting approach, but this should give you a starting point. BTW: the last BSD Magazine issue had an article by Don Hayford about = running FreeBSD on the plug. HTH.
