Hi, If someone wanted to bring up freebsd on an mmu-less platform then I'd say go for it, but you'd have to crime out a lot of code and functionality to make it work. Honestly you'd likely be better off getting a microkernel type thing going and then bring over the minimum set of useful things (say the usb and network stacks) which don't really require much VM clue to operate. the filesystem code may be a bit more challenging to bring in as you're going to have to crime a bunch of VM specific things out, so it may not be worth it. -adrian
