FreeBSD on EST sbc8260 or EST Scout (750+8260 based) boards ?

 Having OpenFirmware simplifies the job a lot. The main issue is device drivers,
and the bus-probing code. Some code to have a look at is uninorth.c/grackle.c, which
are the host bridges on supported Mac models (grackle is the Motorola MPC106
host-pci bridge).

 A scan of the ppc email archives will help with cross-build instructions. And let
me know if you have any questions: it's certainly a goal of mine to get the port
running on 8260 h/w at some stage.

later,
