I've just bumped into your bsdtalk interview: http://cisx1.uma.maine.edu/~wbackman/bsdtalk/bsdtalk086.mp3 This appears to give a useful overview into the sun4v port. One thing you mention is that you'd started work on a virtual network driver. How far did this get and can you point me to the code, It seems that the latest OpenBSD runs on sun4v. I haven't investigated how well supported it is. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --+1TulI7fc0PCHNy3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAki2kNYACgkQ/opHv/APuIf9DgCfVHEWQhXUcSc8TjlxA/EY5W/i plcAn34QjtjzFVr5g/jDlpx0wmNApoO2 =mLT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+1TulI7fc0PCHNy3--
