FreeBSD on EFIKA

  Is this the patch you mean ? :

  If so, then OpenFirmware on the EFIKA is running in real mode. The 
current FreeBSD implementation expects OpenFirmware to be running in 
virtual mode, and there are cases where data is passed on a stack that 
is virtually mapped. Could be difficult to fix.
