I recall reading about this on daemonnews. I've been looking at the state of the various freenix projects on the sgimips platform, and, so far, it seems Linux is the most advanced one. NetBSD's support is currently not bad, they support the SCSI, ethernet and serial port, but no keyboard or console support yet. So, what are your ideas for this? It should be relatively easy to get the minimal hardware support by looking at how NetBSD is doing it, then have a look at Linux' code and get some ideas. I've got an old R4000 Indy I'd be very pleased to hack on.

Well, I recently posted the content of the status report I submitted for the current status report season here in FreeBSD, and also a diff, among other things. Also recently put together a page: http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/mips/ Which has info about current tasks, both ongoing, and needing-to-get-done... In short, right now, it's still trudging along to the point where there's something small booting, and from there, the idea is to just trudge along to single user. And from there, the idea is to trudge along to the standard idiom of FreeBSD-on-something. You've got mostly the idea of what we've had in mind as far as support for things. Most of that is still a non-issue, but it's nice to (such as in the case of the arcbios driver) get certain types of drivers in tree, as they serve as documentation about some of the low-level bits and bobbles that one has to twiddle when programming at the low level.

Seseko Alternative Email Address: suun4us@yahoo.com My name is Kuzo Mobutu Seseko, the daughter of the late President of Republic of Zaire, now living in exile in South Africa. The circumstances that led to my living in South Africa at the moment cannot be new to you , I know you must know the history of my family. However , during the days of my father=92s reign we were into solid minerals exploration and mining which was the soul base of our family business, mostly diamond and gold. But unfortunately, before my father passed on, he was on exile in Europe which made it impossible for us to organize our businesses especially mining before the political hostility which saw him out of office began. Last year a security company in our country wrote me informing me of a deposit made by my father in my name which is still with them. I intended leaving the deposit with them sequel to my return home so that I can fall on that to start up a business ,but unfortunately, the rebel hostilities at home which have refused to stop up till this moment has made me to think otherwise. Hence I am considering asking the security company to transfer the sum to an oversea country with a stable economy and favorable political condition, so that I can find an indigenous business man / investor in that country to work with in partnership and invest this money. I know your country is an advanced democracy with a more stable economy than that of African countries. Hence I would want us to seek how to invest this sum agreeing on a working percentage.However due to my living status here in South Africa I would want you to keep this offer confidential. Get back to me suggesting what we are to do, while I will furnish you with my contact telephone numbers and fax in South Africa and that of my lawyers. I wish you strength. K.

First off, here's the unimplemented headers expected by either MI code or the current MD set of headers: bus.h clock.h critical.h db_machdep.h elf.h exec.h kse.h limits.h md_var.h pcb.h pmap.h ptrace.h reg.h resource.h smp.h stdarg.h And the diffs can be found at (I'd been trying to mail them to the list, but it seems they get rejected, oops): http://people.freebsd.org/~jmallett/mips-branch.diff.gz Aside from the stuff in diffs, I'm playing more and more with the GDB simulator to find out what is possible and what is not possible in it, and have written a bit of code to abstract rom monitor IO stuff, and done PMON hacking, and whatnot. This doesn't much affect the FreeBSD stuff proper (except well the early boot code/sequence), but it's made me aware of the fact that it's not very possible to do much in the GDB simulator, in the way of FreeBSD proper. Even the open vector bombs out simulator-side (SIGBUS) making it impossible to even play with e.g. binary loading. Oh and since two or three people asked me about IRC, EFnet #freebsd-mips is a good enough place to catch me, especially to discuss this stuff. I suppose that'd be a good project discussion IRC channel. Thanks, juli. -- Juli Mallett OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer. ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict. FreeBSD on MIPS-Anything on FreeBSD.
