It is like that, and as mentioned previously, some grunt work is required, such as adding ISA bus support and the necessary bus-space work for i/o access. Sparc64 has ISA support as a proof-of-concept.

Any docs or mailing list archive on that effort?

I'm all for a little poke around. Disabling sio would be the first step though, so the kernel actually links..

Matt, I've had ISA initially working on FreeBSD/ppc with kernel console over sio in particular, when doing a port to MPC750 CompactPCI board. I don't have my changes at hand as I had to return the (loaner) equipment and kind of dropped the activities around it. But from what I remember it wasn't very hard to get sio in kernel working - there was some VIA PCI-ISA bridge chip with driver already supported for i386, so after gluing it to powerpc kernel and setting proper address ranges in device.hints for sio it worked.

I could dig in my archives for those changes sometime next week if you're interested.
