Introduction
&os;/&arch.pc98; is a port of &os; which aims to run
on the NEC PC-98x1 (pc98) architecture.
The project's goal is to make &os;/&arch.pc98; work
the same as FreeBSD on other architectures.
Most of the kernel source is already included in the FreeBSD source tree
and most of the userland utilities built from the source work fine.
Status
&os;/&arch.pc98; is a
Tier 2 architecture at the time of 9.0-RELEASE. Although
this was a Tier 1 for a long time since 5.0-RELEASE, it was
- downgraded because of some technical reason.
+ downgraded due to FreeBSD no longer supporting installation from
+ floppy disks, and pc98 machines not supporting booting from CD/DVD.
