5-Nov-2000 Marcel -Moolenaar has written a web page describing the Simulator System Calls.
4-Oct-2000 Doug -Rabson has commited code to get FreeBSD as far as start_init() -before it dies in the simulator.

13-April-2001 David +O'Brien received the commieral Virtutech Simics-LE "VituHammer" +x86-64 simulator in order to begin the port.
A lot of work needs to be done on the Cygnus IA64 toolchain. At the -moment it looks like the various Linux camps doing IA64 development -have splintered off without merging their respective changes back into -Cygnus' tree. Anyone working on toolchain issues should coordinate -with David Obrien.
+David O'Brien is working on modifing the AMD sponsored x86-86 GCC for +FreeBSD's needs. Anyone working on toolchain issues should coordinate +with David O'Brien.
-HP's Linux IA64 -simulator is currently less than ideal for FreeBSD development. -Marcel Moolenaar is currently -working on some of these issues.
+AMD's SimNow! x86-64 +simulator is currently less than ideal for FreeBSD development due to +its slowness.
