As a rough order of magnitude how hard would it be to port
FreeBSD to an architecture (Motorola Coldfire) that doesn't
have an MMU?  I see some words on their site that the NetBSD
folks might be working on some archs that require this.

I got my hands on a board similar to the one in the NetTel
eLia product and it runs on uClinux.  I was just curious if
porting FreeBSD would be a couple of month thing or much
more involved.

Thanks.
