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 ARM or what it would take to get the FreeBSD kernel to boot on an
ARM.

I guess we could start by using the data collected by the NetBSD group's
effort to run on ARM. Is there anyone here who is familiar with NetBSD's
ARM project?

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