It does boot multi user with the old snapshoot, sometimes. ;-)
The port is still experimental, nothing real usable at the moment. But
there is work going on behind the scenes. I have written a new network
driver and found some bugs / missing parts during this. Chuck is working
on VM problems... The next issue that needs to be addressed is the
dynamic linker, it is broken.

If you want to help: Building releases is broken too. You have to
disable the regression tests and there is a issue with ld.elf_so. (See
my mails "link trouble on hp700" to tech-toolchain for a workaround.)
Then there is a install error in gdb. I have no time to look at this,
maybe you can investigate this? ;-)
