<li><p><b>5-Nov-2000</b> <a href="mailto:marcel@freebsd.org">Marcel
Moolenaar</a> has written a web page describing the <a

<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>
<li><p><b>13-April-2001</b> <a href="mailto:obrien@freebsd.org">David
O'Brien</a> received the commieral Virtutech Simics-LE "VituHammer"
x86-64 simulator in order to begin the port.</p></li>

<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>David O'Brien is working on modifing the AMD sponsored x86-86 GCC for
FreeBSD's needs. Anyone working on toolchain issues should coordinate
with <a href="mailto:obrien@freebsd.org">David O'Brien</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>
<p><a href="http://www.x86-64.org/downloads">AMD's SimNow! x86-64

its slowness.</p>
