+about="""
+NetBSD/amd64 is a port to the AMD64 family of processors and
+supports all other CPUs that implement the 64bit AMD64
+architecture.  These currently include AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon64,
+and Intel CPUs with the EM64T extension.
 
+NetBSD/amd64 is a true 64bit operating system. Running
+32bit NetBSD/i386 binaries is supported as well, see 
+<a href="http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?compat_netbsd32+8+NetBSD-5.1+i386">compat_netbsd32(8)</a>.
+
+The port was first committed to the NetBSD source tree as NetBSD/x86_64
+on June 19th, 2001 and  renamed to NetBSD/amd64 on April 26th, 2003.
+
+The original work to do this port was done by Frank van der Linden at
+<a class="ulink" href="http://www.wasabisystems.com/" target="_top">Wasabi Systems</a>, assisted by
+<a class="ulink" href="http://www.amd.com/" target="_top">AMD</a>, who provided the simulator
+(Simics VirtuHammer), pre-release hardware and access to a range
+of Opteron hardware through the
+<a class="ulink" href="http://developer.amd.com/" target="_top">AMD Developer Center</a>.
+
+The port is fully functional. It has been tested on single-CPU and
+multiprocessor (SMP) Opteron configurations. Since the <a class="ulink" href="../../releases/formal-2.0/NetBSD-2.0.html" target="_top">release of NetBSD 2.0</a>,
+it is a completely supported platform.
