! From what I understand of the Linux kernel, it uses two, and
! the i386 has
! three modes of operation.
!
! Don't forget that FreeBSD already runs on the VAX, and FreeVMS (in my
! project concept) would be an extension and implementation of
! the existing
! FreeBSD kernel so that it "looks and feels" like VMS.
!
! I also wanted this implementation of FreeBSD to use native
! DEC filesystems
! and operate classic DEC hardware.

        Poking around through NetBSD also would probably be helpful. That
runs on 30+ architectures, and FreeBSD & NetBSD often use the same source
code for drivers too...
