To the freebsd embedded team, I have at least 1 - probably 2 RB800s available to contribute to get it supported by FreeBSD if someone is SERIOUS about putting in the effort. I noticed it's on the embedded want list on the wiki - so that's a start - and it's a nice platform that could use from a proper OS ( not awful proprietary RouterOS or a linux flavor ). While netbsd has support for it, it's not something I use regularly. Additionally, work/a port on this - it will probably work on the MikroTik RB1100 and RB1100ah ( at least from looking at netbsd/linux code & mailing lists I've looked at ) and possibly a few more MPC8544 based boards - so there is additional merit beyond just this I think. While I would love to attempt this port myself - I fear I lack the apptitude ( and don't want to spew out some nasty hack ). So extending the offer of hardware is what I can contribute. The boards are located in San Francisco, but i can ship to most places without to much problem ( though anyone local I'll treat to a few pints as well for the endeavor - pre, during and post ). So if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in the FreeBSD development team ( I don't like to see hardware go to waste ) - please let me know / contact me. I would love to see proper BSD on this platform. cheers and thanks, -bp
