Replace the contents in this file with a notice that the ia64 home

page has been moved. The actual contents has not been replicated.
It mostly consisted of a list of activities tied to a person (ie
latest news). Even though voluntary work is carried by recognition
of the work being done, it's not an good way to build web pages
if it's the only real contents and it has to be updated by the
people who actually do the work. I don't know about others, but I
hate writing about myself...
Not to mention that the concept of latest news forces one to keep
updating the pages, which given the current state of affairs is
just too much to ask.
This change does not mean that the new ia64 pages cannot possibly
revive the information that's "lost" with this change.

<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>
<p>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 <a href="mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org">Marcel

<li><p><b>2-Jun-2002</b> <a href="mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org">Marcel</a>,
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...
</p></li>
<li><p><b>28-May-2002</b> <a href="mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org">Marcel</a>

still under development, but booting from a GPT disklabel partition is
working.</p></li>
<li><p><b>10-May-2002</b> <a href="mailto:obrien@FreeBSD.org">David
O'Brien</a> switched the in-tree compiler to GCC 3.1. Due to his efforts
we are now capable of self-hosting.
<li><p><b>25-Apr-2002</b> <a href="mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org">Marcel</a>
committed elementary support for loading kernel modules.</p></li>
<li><p><b>10-Apr-2002</b> <a href="mailto:dfr@FreeBSD.org">Doug</a>
committed the rudimentary support for running i386 binaries in ia32
mode. Development continues on the Perforce branch.</p></li>
<li><p>...more to come here...</p></li>
<li><p><b>5-Oct-2001</b> <a href="mailto:dfr@FreeBSD.org">Doug</a> reports
that he has reached single user mode on real hardware with a root

the simulator.</p></li>
<li><p><b>30-Sep-2000</b> <a href="mailto:dfr@FreeBSD.org">Doug</a> has
made a series of commits to -current with early IA-64 support. The
kernel will now reach the mountroot prompt. Please follow the mailing
