Hi again, I've built CD installer images for kfreebsd-amd64. You can install it normaly as a standalone system now.
Check them out at: http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/install-cd/ The boot sequence is not as mature as in kfreebsd-i386 yet (fsck and ifup segfault), but you should have no trouble in setting up network manualy or via dhclient. As for the packages, thanks to Aurelien Jarno's porting/buildd efforts, we have a resonably complete set now (a few more than hurd-i386 at the moment): http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/Installed_stats.png Enjoy!
