I'm a bit confused i had three different paths i thought about taking: a) compile under solaris (i have a spare disk in the same box and it would make it very easy if this is a feasable option) b) cross compile under freebsd, hard to test but i could use netbooting c) netbsd (this one is kinda not going to work as they don't have bootblocks and they have been quiet about developemnt) If i choose option 'a' do i need to make a cross compiler anyway being that solaris 2.6 is 32 bit? if so, i think i might as well do option 'b'. C seems a bit farfetched as i'd be porting netbsd instead of freebsd :) *cringing* d) under ultrapenguine? Only problem it seems is that for all the hype ultra penguine got it supports almost no hardware, not even serial ports, just gx graphics ( i have a creator ) and some odd ethernet chipset (i have hme, they don't) Thanks for your time, -Alfred > > -- > Christopher Nielsen > Scient: The eBusiness Systems Innovator > <http://www.scient.com>; > cnielsen@scient.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
