I have an ultra 2 that I wish to run FreeBSD 6 on. Prior to the last few days, I have had zero experience with netbooting and sparc64. I found very little documentation for netbooting the install of FreeBSD. In my search, I found NetBSD's documentation. Anxious to see if this box even works (it was given to me through work), I followed those directions. I got NetBSD installed within a couple of hours. Now that I know it _works_, how do I put FreeBSD on here? I'm not asking for a step by step. By exporting disc1, I can get the OS up and running, but sysinstall doesn't work properly. Can someone give me a hint? TIA
