Howdy, I've gotten the Kenge-hello world built and running inside of  
QEMU on top of FreeBSD, which, after digging around through source  
code was pretty exciting. Now, i'm at the next step. I've been  
looking into using Iguana somewhat along the lines of how NICTA uses  
it for the Wombat project, since I think starting with running  
FreeBSD as a paravirtualized host on top of Iguana is a good place to  
start

(by the way, before I forget, if you don't know what this L4::BSD  
nonsense i'm talking about is: https://lists.ira.uni-karlsruhe.de/ 
pipermail/l4ka/2006-May/001606.html)

I'm somewhat feeling around in the dark right now, I've been fiddling  
with the big iguana-project--devel-* (53MB!) that's listed here  
http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/software/kenge/iguana-project/latest/   
but I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to start.

It seems to me that the best place to start in moving FreeBSD to run  
on top of Iguana (on top of L4) is to get it the entire thing running  
as a userland service (a la host OSes on Xen), i'm just not certain  
as to where a good place to start with this is so I can start putting  
an intermediary layer to translate some calls so the FreeBSD  
virtualized OS "thinks" it's got direct access to hardware like it's  
used to.

Suggestions?

Cheers, (or g'day I guess)
