Atm, as i posted (almost 2 months back), i am doing the sparc port, but on a sun4m. (SPARCserver10 to be exact). Why? Because as i stated before, its all i have. Work is progressing very slowly, as i have alot to learn (studying the 2 stage bootloader in openbsd/netbsd, the prom), and i have the v8 sparc architecture manual handy. I'm currently running OpenBSD 2.8 has the base system, with the full OpenBSD 2.8 and NetBSD 1.5 source trees, along with FreeBSD 4-Stable and 5-Current source trees. The feeling however, seems to be that this is more of a 'hobby' port, and won't make it into the FreeBSD source tree. Thats fine by me, as i'm doing this more as a learning exercise. For the FreeBSD/Sparc64 port, i'm going to need an Ultra, which i believe O'brien has offered. martin.
