<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>&os;/&arch.pc98; is a port of &os; which aims to run
on the NEC PC-98x1 (pc98) architecture.
The project's goal is to make &os;/&arch.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.</p>
<h3>Status</h3>
<p>&os;/&arch.pc98; is a <a
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">
Tier 2</a> architecture at the time of 9.0-RELEASE.</p>
<p>Although
FreeBSD/pc98 was a Tier 1 for a long time since 5.0-RELEASE, it was
downgraded due to FreeBSD no longer supporting installation from
floppy disks, and most pc98 machines cannot boot from CD/DVD.
Although later pc98 machines can boot from CDROM, FreeBSD's support
for that has not been integrated into bsdinstall and release tools.</p>
