While netbsd has support for = it, it's not something I use regularly. Additionally, work/a port on = this - it will probably work on the MikroTik RB1100 and RB1100ah ( at = least from looking at netbsd/linux code & mailing lists I've looked at ) = and possibly a few more MPC8544 based boards - so there is additional = merit beyond just this I think.=20 While I would love to attempt this port myself - I fear I lack the = apptitude ( and don't want to spew out some nasty hack ). So extending = the offer of hardware is what I can contribute. The boards are located = in San Francisco, but i can ship to most places without to much problem = ( though anyone local I'll treat to a few pints as well for the endeavor = - pre, during and post ).=20 So if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in the FreeBSD development team ( I = don't like to see hardware go to waste ) - please let me know / contact = me. I would love to see proper BSD on this platform.=20 cheers and thanks, -bp
