HME is supported. But I am having a problem with my U1 (non-E) with an HME add-in card. It would be great if you would try your U1E to see how well we work on it. Several people I know have U1E's, but none have tried FreeBSD on them yet. The on-board SCSI is not supported yet, so you'll have to use an NFS /. This is not such a bad thing. I still use NFS / for my ultrasparc and it does have a supported IDE and SCSI devices. I have no idea about the FB support -- all the main developers are using serial console. > Not going to have a LOT of time, but got hardware and am willing to > devote some hours/week to the project... It would be great if you could try the latest kernels on your various UltraSparc hardware so we can get a better idea of what works and what doesn't. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) P.S. > Salem, VA Ah, my own home town (well Roanoke actually). :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
