I also have been lurking and hacking on trying to get freebsd running on = my sparc systems to no avail As since our support expired we have not been able to get patches or = even a return call from our sales rep about renewing. We currently run on Fujitsu Sparc 64-v based systems, PrimePower = 650's,850,and 2500 machines. Primarily these machines run large java web = apps (tomcat) and databases (MySQL, and very little oracle) Is their any possibility of getting freebsd running on these big = systems? --=20 Steven C.
