Hi All,

Does anybody out there in FreeBSD-land have a spare
Alpha-based machine that they would be willing to
loan/sell?

I want to contribute to getting the FreeBSD Alpha
port going.  I'm not (yet) much of a kernel hacker,
but I have been going through NetBSD's Alpha tree
trying to shoehorn it into our tree.

Yes, I know that pilfering NetBSD's tree may not be
the right way to go about it, but at least it will
give us a reference implementation within our four
walls that we can play around with.

Thanks, Steve
