>Description:
      Hi,

I wish to develop for Free BSD and would like to use assembly language to do the same. I find that there are almost no resources to help a person who wants to develop in Assembly for Free BSD.  Can  some one point me to relevant resources FOR FREE BSD Assembly programming. Is it possible to develop a full and detailed manual on Assembly lang programming on Free BSD.

Oops.  The empty message was supposed to say 'invalid e-mail address', 
but in the meantime I found another PR by Michael David and fixed the 
address. 

As for this PR, Michael, have you taken a look at 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html?  There is a link to the FreeBSD 
Developer's Handbook there, which has a nice chapter on x86 assembly 
programming.  If you mean assembly programming for other architectures 
supported by FreeBSD (like Alpha or Sparc64), then indeed there are no 
real guides on that..

State-Changed-Why:  
This is not a PR. For general help and questions, use the FreeBSD 
mailing lists. freebsd-questions@freebsd.org or 
freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org (but not a cross-post to both!) might be 
good places to pose this type of question. Better yet, search the mail 
archives. This question gets asked at least every month or two.
