Move from Solaris: ARM 64 Bit
Hey all

I've been thinking of switching my x86 Solaris out with ARM 64 Bit and FreeBSD.
Now i know i can migrate my striped-mirror ZFS to FreeBSD.

So to get to the point.
I take advantage of Kernel Zones on Solaris (Routing, Firewall, Web Access and Web Page etc.) and from time to time need access to Windows Server VM.
But Solaris doesn't support ARM hardware (and probably won't).

I'll be replacing both server and Workstation.
I haven't used FreeBSD before, but guessing it won't be fundamentally different.
I know Solaris is maintained by Oracle but does that mean FreeBSD isn't as "polished"?
And can i get same functionality with FreeBSD as i currently have with Solaris?

I'm a fairly adaquate C/C++ programmer, will it be rather difficult to customize the kernel to only support my current hardware?
If so, are there any "industry secret" guide on how to do it?

Cheers

Intro(9S)						    Data Structures for Drivers 						 Intro(9S)

NAME

       Intro, intro - introduction to kernel data structures and properties

DESCRIPTION

       Section	9P  describes kernel properties used by device drivers. Section 9S describes the data structures used by drivers to share informa-
       tion between the driver and the kernel. See Intro(9E) for an overview of device driver interfaces.

       In Section 9S, reference pages contain the following headings:

	   o	  NAME summarizes the purpose of the structure or property.

	   o	  SYNOPSIS lists the include file that defines the structure or property.

	   o	  INTERFACE LEVEL describes any architecture dependencies.

	   o	  DESCRIPTION provides general information about the structure or property.

	   o	  STRUCTURE MEMBERS lists all accessible structure members (for Section 9S).

	   o	  SEE ALSO gives sources for further information.

       Of the preceding headings, Section 9P reference pages contain the NAME, DESCRIPTION, and SEE ALSO fields.

       Every driver MUST include <sys/ddi.h> and <sys/sunddi.h>, in that order, and as final entries.

       The following table summarizes the STREAMS structures described in Section 9S.
