I have an ultra 10. The problem with these is that the cmd646 ide controller on the motherboard doesn't work with the ata driver, so you need another controller on a pci card in order to mount root off a disk. I use a Highpoint HPT366. Basically you want to install netbsd on a drive connected to the on board controller, newfs and disklabel a drive connected to the other controller, nfs mount it on a freebsd box, do a make distribution from a current source tree and then unpack the sparc64 binaries on it. Then follow the directions on tmm's page or the diskless(8) manpage from netbsd to boot the kernel/loader over tftp. They're both packed into one binary for now. You can get my kernel here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/main.gz And an almost full set of binaries (bin, sbin, usr.bin, usr.sbin): http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/bin.tar.gz non-x86 specific diskless(8): http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?diskless+8.sparc+NetBSD-current Jake To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
