Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to install FreeBSD 6.1 on a HP 9000 Machine. The CPU is a

I can't find any release what's compatible with it. The question is, 
is it

possible to download a FreeBSD version that runs on a HP 9000 machine ?

Officially, FreeBSD supports distributions for the Intel i386 (i386), 
Intel Itanium 64 (ia64), AMD 64/Intel EMT64 (amd64), andd Sun Sparc64 
platforms. There is no (official) release of FreeBSD ported to the HP 
9000. That being said, I'd suggest if you must use the HP 9000 series 
PA-RISC architecture, to look to NetBSD. I've used NetBSD myself on 
someolder pa-risc boxen, but only for the sake of messing around to be 
honest. I'm not certain, but I believe OpenBSD has a port to the HP 
PA-RISC platform as well.


There is also a Linux version see at  http://www.parisc-linux.org/

I don't know of one.   But, I am not really familiar with the HP-9000
so someone could well be doing something with it I do not know.   It
appears that they offer Linux on it as well as HPUX, so it would probably
be possible to create a FreeBSD that would run on it.It kind of looks 
like the 9000 series might be a follow-on product to the Convex Systems
that HP bought a few years ago to be their High Performance offerings
and those systems ran a version of UNIX that was more BSD based.

You might have some exciting times doing the port for it...
