(So its not particularly important which codebase i use; a previous post was recommending i use FreeBSD 2.2.7). Also as i stated in a previous post, this is mostly a learning exercise so i can work on the /sparc64 port if i ever get an Ultra. :). All i have is a Sparc10 atm, and i have to make do with this for now. Sparc64 is alot more complicated, with 32bit and 64bit kernels, and 32bit and 64bit userspace, or mixes between the two. martin.
