I’ve just uploaded the slides from Cherry G. Mathew’s talk on porting NetBSD to IA-64 to the CLUG wiki. You can find them under the entry for his talk (direct link).

For those who couldn’t make it, Cherry gave a very interesting overview of the Itanium architecture as well as an insight into the challenges of porting an operating system to a new platform. It’s a pity that CLUG don’t have audio recordings of the talks like NYCBUG do – I’ve suggested it to the committee, so perhaps they’ll be able to put talks online sometime in the near future.
