I don't know about the rest of the gang, but I'm still working on it.
There is a mailing list, send mail to sopwith!532bsd-request to join.

Between the net-2 tape, 386bsd, and the freely distributable pieces
from the pc-532 Minix port, it should be possible to glue pieces together
and build a 532bsd kernel without writing tooooo much from scratch.

My current project is teaching the PROM code about UTek style disk
labels so that I can move disks between systems without pain.  I'm
also building a boot block to find /vmunix on a BSD Fast Filesystem.

Once that is working, the big decision will be choosing between
native BSD and Mach with a BSD server.  (input welcome!)
What parts of the Mach port to the pc-532 are available and where
can we get them?
