Is there any way the > FreeBSD port can import the extremely solid NetBSD/alpha work? I have drawn very heavily on NetBSD in my porting efforts so far.

I am using a pmap ported from FreeBSD/i386 however since I don't really understand the differences in the pmap/vm interface between NetBSD and FreeBSD. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
