Ok, I suggest this. Install a freeBSD box or whatever you prefer. then
download the xMach source via CVS. The make process should work largely
and result in ELF binaries. (All this is documented with the various
README/docs).
Use grub to boot with those executables. It will eventually die with a
message:
panic: init died.
We are not absolutely positive where and why this occurs, so if you are
able to fix this, that would be awesome.
This is a quick instruction list, so if anything is unclear, email me.

We decided to go with openports as our port/package system. So if you
would like to work on that, that would be good. I am sure the project can
use all the help they can get. There was one more person that wanted to
work on this. I don't remember who, though.
