I also asked about sparc there didn't get anywhere so dropped it ( I have a U60 (Sol10), a E450(Sol8), 2xE3500's(Sol10), 2xE3000's (decommissioned) and 2 Netra T1's (running FBSD9.2 currently) - and was looking to changing them all to FreeBSD - but then I realized there was little chance of patches so gave up... until this thread. ) -- Michelle Sullivan http://www.mhix.org/
