FWIW, I have an Ultra60 (and an Ultra10 for that matter), but it has been a
long time since I booted either of them.  At one point I released a port of
openjdk8 to sparc64, but it got almost no interest and I didn't work on it
as a result.  At this point it seems like sparc64 is unfortunately pretty
low on everyone's priority list.
