It's more a question of whether FreeBSD 8.2 supports whatever system is built around your US-II. Unlike the PC, there's much more variation in the SPARC world and the kernel needs to know about the hardware. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/sparc.html As for installing, it's much the same as for x86 - either boot an installation DVD or netboot. Main differences are that it's not possible to multiboot (each different OS needs a distinct disk) and you can't boot ZFS. --=20 Peter Jeremy --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk79GJkACgkQ/opHv/APuIf7MQCgpOD073I++UN9O8w/QxSoQZ+a ke0An13DBpVqqCyu9lX9KPcQxMxK5G5/ =CM5P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND--
