I have put a kernel, with a loader prepended, at
  http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/main.gz (~630kB)
, some userland binaries at
  http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/sparc64-dist.tar.gz (~8MB)
and some minimal (and probably incomplete) instructions are at
  http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/README.

This will only work on PCI machines which have a firmware version that
can load ELF binaries (so, for example, not on Ultra 1 and 2s).
Additionally the builtin CMD 646 ATA controller that some boxes have
does not yet work; other PCI controllers should hopefully.

This includes experimental ATA changes, eeprom code etc., so use at
your own risk.
