Porting FreeBSD to PPC

[Won De Erick]

Thank you for this info.
I finally got a ML403 board for me.
My problem is, is it necessary to compile or build the FreeBSD kernel with the Xilinx tool?
How should I go about this?
The Xilinx XPS is specific on some smaller systems (like the built-in standalone, vxworks, linux).

You're right. ML401 comes with different Virtex than I thought..

Sorry for misleading.
