Ahh okay my bad¡¦I thought I¡¯d done my research better..never mind at hardware :( From: Trevis <trevis+freebsd-sun4v@clickscape.com> Date: Monday, April 27, 2015 at 11:12 AM To: Robert Parkhurst <raparkhurst@digitalxerf.com> Cc: <freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: Volunteer To Revive Sun4v Robert, The Ultra 60 should be taken care of by the existing sparc64 port as listed on https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/sparc.html The sun4v port would be for machines such as the T2000. As far as I know, there hasn't been a workstation with a sun4v processor. Though I would gladly be proven wrong on that.
