Hi,

I am interested in studying the modifications which were needed to port
FreeBSD to the Itanium. I have a particular interest in the VM subsystem.
Any suggestion on how to get started (which Itanium box to use, level of
kernel debugger support available, etc). I would also like to  contribute to
this port, but the traffic volume in this forum seems to suggest that the
interest in the port is fading.

Your help is appreciated.
