If there is ANYWAY you can find an old x86 box you could install FreeBSD on, your life will be MUCH easier. That said, I think we are just about to the point of being able to self-host. You'll still need an NFS server for your root, but another Solaris will probably make a better NSF server than FreeBSD does. I have a host=target=sparc64-*-freebsd toolchain I will make available on Monday (unless something comes up). > The build environment stuff in CVS expects (especially Makefiles) seems > deliberately slanted towards FreeBSD (understandably).

You'll have to poke someone else for the details CVSup'ing it. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
