Hi..
=20
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.0 on a Sun Ultra 10 Sparc64 box.. :-\
=20
I've read some stuff about no consoll support.. but succeeded in =
installing the operative system and getting network.
=20
The installation-meny from hell is hackable with this tip.. (got it off =
a maillist)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------------------
Choose termtyp 1 in the installationsprompt.
Use Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P to move up and down.. you'll see the mouse pointer =
flash quickly at the
alternetive that's choosen. Then use TAB to move between windows.
Enter/Space to choose stuff and Ctrl-D to delete.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Next step after getting network up n running is XFree86..
When tryin' to install from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 it doesnt go very =
well though..
I get acouple of critical Error 1 in the (final stage?!) of the =
compilation resulting in
failure of the installation.
=20
(I don't got the errors i get but on request i can reproduce em.. (take =
3 hours of compiling to get em that's why i dont include em here))
=20
Anyone here that succeeded in installing FreeBSD for Sun Ultra 5/10? or =
got any experience that is relevant and might be of help?
=20
Best regards,
//Magnus Glantz
