<div>The question is, whats the motivation to port FreeBSD to
ARM? </div>

</div>
<div>Not that I think its a bad idea, but wheres the market for
products using FreeBSD on arm? Is someone going to sell
netbooks running PC-BSD? Is a hosting provider going to get a
few racks of ARM blades for a cloud. Is some university
researcher/hacker going to port it just because?</div>

sure to all three. and during the porting to arm FreeBSD may
benefit in code that is more portable, and better audited (like Net
and Open) along the way :)<br>
<br>
other use cases off the top of my head:<br>
- embedded appliances<br>
- manufacturing/control systems<br>
- network gear<br>
