The big question that I have is that will FreeBSD 10.1 run on this machine? It's not listed in the supported hardware, and I found a little note that sun4v code has been pulled from the repository due to lack of interest. That link is here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/sun4v I've been using FreeBSD extensively since 3.2 on i386 hardware. However, this is my first foray into a different platform. I'm finding out that I need to do a PXE boot of the machine to install FreeBSD, but the sparc install DVD doesn't have the pxeboot program. This machine does not have a CD/DVD drive or even USB ports. So how do I install FreeBSD onto this machine? I was following the procedure here: http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_with_netboot
