I've been given a pair of Sunfire v210s and a v440 (dual and quad UltraSPARC 3, respectively), and would love to put FreeBSD on them. Sadly, of course, the schizo chipset isn't supported. I'm planning on trying to port over OpenBSD's work in this area, but am somewhat out of my depth (the only work I've ever done on the FreeBSD kernel involves some fixes to nve(4)). Because we have no immediate need to put any of these systems into production (and certainly not all three), I currently can use any or all of them for experimentation and development work for at least the next few months. I believe some members of this list have done their own work in this regard in the past, and was wondering if anyone wanted to collaborate or had done anything that would serve as a starting point. Similarly, if anyone more competent than I feels they just can just do it themselves, but needs access to the hardware, I would be happy to provide that. Thanks, Nathan
