To the freebsd embedded team,

I have at least 1 - probably 2  RB800s available to contribute to get it =
supported by FreeBSD if someone is SERIOUS about putting in the effort. =
I noticed it's on the embedded want list on the wiki - so that's a start =
- and it's a nice platform that  could use from a proper OS ( not awful =
proprietary RouterOS or a linux flavor ). 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
