Peter,

Thanks for all the work you've done so far on the PowerPC port.

I am receiving a IBM Power Series laptop in the mail within a few days and
am very interested in attempting to get FreeBSD work on this "age" of PPC
going.  I read a previous email on the freebsd-ppc mailing list stating
the difficulties in getting FreeBSD going on this type of PPC chip.  I
also noted that you have a similar 603 chip laying about.  Perhaps we
could lay out some plans as to how we _could_ go about adding support for
this chip?


Cheers,
Andrew
