Holler, holler. 8-) There are a lot of things that are easy to do, but take time. There are *so* many programs in FreeBSD and they all need to be checked once they compile cleanly. You don't need to be an expert for this, just a user-space hacker. I have a bunch of mods to src/usr.bin programs to make them compile cleanly. I need to rescue my P5 from NT to check that these haven't broken the intel build. FreeBSD/Alpha is not ready to live alone on your disk. For the time being, until the FreeBSD built programs are known to work (the build tools already do), you will need to keep NetBSD as the installed operating system. And if you want to build debug libraries, you'll need a big disk (i.e. > 2Gb). I only have a 1Gb disk with source NFS mounted. I can't do a full bootstrap build without filling the disk. I've found a work around for this that allows me to repeatedly build parts of the tree (like usr.bin). Send me mail if you need any help.
