Another good place for help with freebsd on arm is the #bsdmips channel on efnet, if you're an irc-using kind of person. Don't let the 'mips' in the name throw you, it's the channel where the arm, powerpc, and mips developers hang out. Oh, and of course, there is also the freebsd-arm@ mailing list. -- Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
