   That's correct. In fact, someone has already done a port of the Sparc code
to an earlier version of FreeBSD...but it would need a LOT of work to port the
port to -current. I will get to it eventually (I have a Sparc sitting next to
me), but at the moment I'm too busy with other things in FreeBSD (namely, the
2.1 release).
