I was hoping that there would be a list somewhere of what state various subsystems were in and what remained to be done. wiki.freebsd.org sounds like the ideal place for this.

I can't find anything that suggests NetBSD runs on sun4v. Their sparc64 port only covers the US-I/II families and there's no mention of sun4v. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --0UhZIN3Sa23/ILEd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkiw4ksACgkQ/opHv/APuIfCKQCgkJgMnkua99IkNkpX4C+iHiaB GFQAmQH4EbznLy5sf/McyCpJG1u1Xo1N =A59I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0UhZIN3Sa23/ILEd--
