Some of these should work already; /sys/src/9/omap/beagle seems to indicate that you can already boot a beagleboard, for instance. As for anything not based on the supported SoCs, well, until people stop sitting on ass saying "boy that would be a nice terminal" and actually start PORTING the damn thing, it'll never be more than Yet Another 120-message 9fans Thread. I got the Efika Smarttop through quite a bit of the early boot over the course of an afternoon, before finally getting pissed off at having to re-write an SD card every time I iterated the kernel. It shouldn't be *too* hard to get a minimally functional system, the code in /sys/src/9 is quite good. Oh, there's another thing, for the love of god don't buy a system that can't netboot, it's just not worth it. Or we could ignore all these and, in grand 9fans tradition, start talking about a port to some hardware platform that's been dead for over 5 years. SPARC64 et al are sorta played out by now, but I've got a PDP-11 just sitting around... john
