Dear Sir/Madam, We are using FreeBSD as operating system in some of our Pentium processor based products. It works fine so far. Since FreeBSD is design for Intel platform only, we are a kind of stuck with Intel processor. I am wondering if it is possible to modify our existing operation system(FreeBSD based) to make it run on Motorola Power PC based system. If the answer is yes, what is the main work to be done. How much effort it may take(say, how many months it takes for an very skilled sr. engineer to work on it, roughly) I know these kind of questions are not easy to answer, but any feedback from you will be very helpful for us to make a strategic decision. Let me restate my question again: Q1. Is it possible to modify FreeBSD to make it run on top of Motorola Power PC Q2. If the answer to Q1 is positive. How much effort it takes. What is the main area need to be modified. Looking forword to hear from you soon. Your help will be highly appreciated Scott Zhang Member of Technical Staff Nokia IPRG scottz@iprg.nokia.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
