The issue is that I already installed FreeBSD over sparc64 ultra10 from CD and I should install OpenBSD and NetBSD too. I thought since FreeBSD people could manage to make a bootable CD for sparc64 maybe they could help. Why I install these is another thing. I write a detailed document about how-to-install, basic configuration and benchmarks etc. This document could provide valuable information for people who want to install one of these operating systems into sparc64. Thus this work is useful for the *BSD operating systems since it would effectively help increasing the user base and it is for the good of *BSD. I could understand your reaction if I was asking about Linux in BSD mailing list but I don't believe this a is real threat for BSD to ask something like this. Neverthles to say I am sorry that I disturbed you. It wont happen again Evren On Tue, 20 Aug 2002, David O'Brien wrote: > [bogus From: address, because people cannot be bothered to respect Reply-To:] > > On Tue, Aug 20, 2002 at 10:09:42PM +0300, Evren Yurtesen wrote: > > Well I made a iso image of openbsd and its booting correctly. > > I can send you perhaps?
