Chuck,

I used to work on a port of FreeBSD to the ARM platform up to around 
march last year (2002).
Due to various personnal reasons (kids, mostly :) I didn't had time to 
look at it during the past year.
I tried to begin working again on it a few weeks back just to discover 
that the NetWinder I was using
as a development platform had died on me :( Anyway, I'm not sure if it 
would have beed so great
a platform given that Intel have EOL the SA110... I'm still looking 
around for a suitable development
platform (one with a "real" bios if at all possible) without success so far.

You might have a look at "http://pages.infinit.net/sepotvin/" if you 
want. It's very dated and I'm
pretty sure that it doesn't compile anymore.

Hope this help!
