I'm looking for a little guidance on how to handle a situation that has arisen. A friend within Sun is offering to make introductions to the appropriate people to discuss official support from Sun for an UltraSPARC port of FreeBSD. This could possibly include donated hardware and engineer support from within Sun. Before I proceed with this, I want to get the opinion of the core team and everyone else working on the port as to whether I should pursue this at all. I'm not sure who (if anyone) from core monitors the freebsd-sparc list, so I will provide a pseudo status of the port; people on freebsd-sparc, please feel free to jump in and correct me. At the moment it looks like we have the toolchain to do cross-compilation from x86 to sparc64-elf with the beginning of a port of the MD parts of the kernel. It's not much, but it's definitely a start. Thanks. -- Christopher Nielsen Scient: The eBusiness Systems Innovator <http://www.scient.com>; cnielsen@scient.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
