I guess my reply to Jordan never made it to the list, so here goes a
second try...

Unfortunately, I don't think that I have enough knowledge to "head" such
a project. I can certainly help in the effort though. I'm familiar with
the FreeBSD kernel and have written drivers but I really know little
about StrongARM or what it would take to get the FreeBSD kernel to boot
on a SA1110 for example.

I guess we could start by using the data collected by the NetBSD group's
effort to run on the StrongARM ??

Anyone here interested in such a project (and perhaps who has some prior
knowledge of what would be involved in realizing such a beast)?
