>Description:
The MIPS platform page at http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/mips.html
is very out of date, and makes no mention of the recent efforts to port
FreeBSD to the lower end MIPS32 hardware, only mentioning the port to SGI
hardware, which is further away from completion. I've added a link to the
MIPS wiki page, which is probably a better source of info than the mailing
list, and also updated the layout slightly.
I haven't added details of who should be contacted about the MIPS32
half of the project, I guess ideally the mailing list should be the first
point of contact.
