This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to Intel's IA-64 - architecture; officially known as Itanium Processor Family (IPF). As with - the port itself, this page is still work in progress. Please send any - comments and suggestions to Marcel - . For discussions and everything else related to IA-64, send mail to - freebsd-ia64@FreeBSD.org. -
- -The follow people have been working either in the spotlights or behind - the scenes to get the FreeBSD port off the ground:
- -2-Jun-2002 Marcel, - in a courageous attempt (*cough*), committed the first of a hopefully - regular series of updates to bring the project page up to date. Stay - tuned... -
28-May-2002 Marcel - committed GEOM support for GUID Partition Tables (GPT). A GPT tool is - still under development, but booting from a GPT disklabel partition is - working.
10-May-2002 David - O'Brien switched the in-tree compiler to GCC 3.1. Due to his efforts - we are now capable of self-hosting. -
25-Apr-2002 Marcel - committed elementary support for loading kernel modules.
10-Apr-2002 Doug - committed the rudimentary support for running i386 binaries in ia32 - mode. Development continues on the Perforce branch.
...more to come here...
5-Oct-2001 Doug reports - that he has reached single user mode on real hardware with a root - filesystem mounted over NFS.
5-Nov-2000 Marcel - has written a web page describing the Simulator System Calls - .
4-Oct-2000 Doug has - committed code to get FreeBSD as far as start_init() before it dies in - the simulator.
