FreeBSD/pc98 Project

FreeBSD/pc98 is a port of FreeBSD which aims to run on NEC PC-98x1 (pc98) architecture. The project's goal is to make FreeBSD/pc98 work the same as FreeBSD on other architectures. Most of the kernel source is already included in the FreeBSD source tree and most of the userland utilities built from the source work fine.
