I don't know the status of MOSIX, but for your information, there is
another multi-computer parallel machine based on FreeBSD, made in
France by a collaboration of different universities.

This low cost/high performance parallel computer, named MPC, is based
on a network of CPU boards running a modified version of FreeBSD (new
kernel services, modifications and additions of new functionnalities
in the VM subsystem, and new drivers for the interconnection
network). The boards are interconnected with a custom interconnection
network of routers, developped at UPMC, each router containing 8
full-duplex 1 GigaBit/s asynchronous serial links.
