+      <p>Arm64 is the name of the in-progress port of &os; to the
+	ARMv8 CPU when it is in AArch64 mode. Until recently, all ARM
+	CPU designs were 32-bit only. With the introduction of the
+	ARMv8 architecture, ARM has added a new 64-bit mode. This new
+	mode has been named AArch64.</p>
+
+      <p>Booting &os; on the ARM Foundation Model has made a lot of
+	progress since the last status report. An initial pmap
+	implementation has been written.  With this &os; is able to
+	enter the Machine Independent boot code. The required autoconf
+	functions have been added allowing &os; to start scheduling
+	tasks. Finally the cpu_switch and copystr functions were
+	added. With these two &os; will boot to the mountroot
+	prompt.</p>
+
+      <p>Work has started on supporting exceptions, including
+	interrupts.  This will start to allow more developers to start
+	working on device drivers.</p>
