Not pretending that I am a big expert on Sparc64 just look at the link to FreeBSD
sparc64 project web-site and what people are saying
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/sparc.html
Then look at the NetBSD sparc64 web-page
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/sparc64/
and then look at the openbsd sparc64 specific web-site
http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html
Compare number of various RISK processor supported and support for SMP
kernel on these three architectures. Compare the hardware which supported by each operating system.
You will see what I meant by OpenBSD is way to go if you want to run Sparc64.
Now I am not saying that if you have particular hardware which is supported by FreeBSD and which doesn't have multiple processors FreeBSD will not run. I am just saying that I would run OpenBSD regardless.
Even OpenBSD didn't have support for SMP kernel on sparc64 until 4.3 so I sold my Ultra 10 workstation last year as my only choice to get it fully functional was Solaris or Debian.
P.S. Hey body. I just noticed that you are from Arizona. I live in Tucson. It is nice to see people from Arizona running
BSDs. I do not think that there are more than handful of us down in Tucson running BSDs.
