+<ul>
+<li><p><b>5-Nov-2000</b> <a href="mailto:marcel@freebsd.org">Marcel
+Moolenaar</a> has written a web page describing the <a
+href="http://www.freebsd.org/~marcel/ssc.html">Simulator System Calls</a>.</p></li>
+<li><p><b>4-Oct-2000</b> <a href="mailto:dfr@freebsd.org">Doug
+Rabson</a> has commited code to get FreeBSD as far as start_init()
+before it dies in the simulator.</p></li>
+<li><p><b>30-Sep-2000</b> <a href="mailto:dfr@freebsd.org">Doug
+Rabson</a> has made a series of commits to -current with early IA64
+support.  The kernel will now reach the mountroot prompt.  Please
+follow the mailing list for more information.</p></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>What needs to be done</h3>
+<p>A lot of work needs to be done on the <a
+href="http://www.cygnus.com/ia64">Cygnus IA64 toolchain</a>.  At the
+moment it looks like the various Linux camps doing IA64 development
+have splintered off without merging their respective changes back into
+Cygnus' tree.  Anyone working on toolchain issues should coordinate
+with <a href="mailto:obrien@freebsd.org">David Obrien</a>.</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://software.hp.com/ia64linux">HP's Linux IA64
+simulator</a> is currently less than ideal for FreeBSD development.
+<a href="mailto:marcel@freebsd.org">Marcel Moolenaar</a> is currently
+working on some of these issues.</p>
