I've had my eyes on such a system in the past (one can only dream). As far as I can remember Linux is using it in Little Endian byte order, and I don't know what FreeBSD is doing. I think up to POWER8 or something you should only go Big Endian byte order. I'm sticking with Big Endian byte order for now as that's what's in powerpc arch. I must say I learned a whole lot today working on this. Hopefully I won't get confused. Nice system you have! -peter
