I can certainly help in the effort though. I'm familiar with the FreeBSD kernel and have written drivers but I really know little about StrongARM or what it would take to get the FreeBSD kernel to boot on a SA1110 for example. I guess we could start by using the data collected by the NetBSD group's effort to run on the StrongARM ?? Anyone here interested in such a project (and perhaps who has some prior knowledge of what would be involved in realizing such a beast)? -- Regards, Devin.
