Sounds like you have an interesting FreeBSD port going on here. Sorry

What are you porting FreeBSD to?
I'm porting it to the MPC8555CDS which has a e500 ppc core. T

I see. Is it PXE-compliant? If so, you can use FreeBSD's
PXE bootloader (/boot/pxeboot) for loading the kernel. In
that case you can also load the root FS image as a separate
file, so there is no need to hack it into the kernel binary.

You don't. It's not necessary. MD_ROOT_SIZE only reserves
space in the kernel image. Then you can use strings(1) to
find the offset in the kernel image, and then write your

Thanks

The kernel option to allocate appropriate space is called
MD_ROOT_SIZE.
Thanks. I'm investigating this option. How do I s

You mean a diskless setup? I think there's a detail

man mdconfig
I'm sorry, I couldn't quite get what I was looking for from the
manpage. How do I use mdconfig to mount the root filesystem?

Hi,
Is there any ramdisk support in freebsd, as there is in netbsd? If
there is no such functionality right now, is anyone working on it?
What are the alternatives if I want to mount a root filesytem from ram?
Thanks.

Hi,
I was going through the machine dependant code and found that
assembler symbols are created using a script that parses symbol names
taken from an object file. Why is it done this way? Are there any
advantages of doing this?

Well, you'll need a toolchain. :) Then you can start working on building
a minimal kernel filling in missing bits in sys/ as you go.
Is there any documentation regarding the
Hi,
If I have to add support for a new architecture, how do I start? I
guess I need to get the build system and 'config' utility in place?
How do I go about it?

Hi all,
How can I build FreeBSD with my own toolchain? Is it possible to
integrate it into the build system or use flags to make the build
system to use my toolchain?
I want to build freebsd 4.10. I am running freebsd 6.0
