It is also worth mentioning that this branch is explicitly not expected to compile on any other platform. While we do take care for things that we intend to merge, but sometimes we just get out the Big Hammer to solve a problem while working on something. It is effectively the "too experimental to go in FreeBSD-current" branch and should be treated that way. But for now it is the only real option that you have if you want to run FreeBSD on it. > I plan to have an ISO somewhere in the next week or so just to > make it easier for people to get started...
