Well, the port is underway, although very preliminary at the moment.  The
two people who seem to be in charge of most of the PPC code at moment are
Benno Rice (benno@freebsd.org) and John Baldwin (jhb@freebsd.org).  For the
time being, this list is the best source of information about the port,
although lately it seems to be just "when will FreeBSD/ppc be ready"
questions.

In any event, if you want to help with the project, contact those two.  If
you want to know when it'll be ready, just keep watching this list.  It's
still going to be a while, though, before there's any useable PPC port.

I've been working at it for a while now, mainly targetting an Apple iMac.
I've also just acquired one of your LoPEC boards to port to. =3D)

I've got most of the initial bootstrap and VM initialisation working, and
the beginnings of the driver framework.  You can see some boot messages at:
	http://jeamland.net/~benno/powerpc-boot.txt

Any more information you need, feel free to ask. =3D)
