Thanks Marius.! I actually borrowed T2000 and M3 server from other group. D=
on't have access to those machine now.
So it is clear that we don't have full sun4v support from above link.
And also my main goal is not a sparc machine with FreeBSD. I am planning to=
 make mpslsi driver endian safe, so I just need either PPC or SPARC FreeBSD=
8-2 support to test my driver.

A much thanks for offering such wonderful support.
