It would be nice to be able to one day boot FreeBSD on sun4v hardware.
Just as a bit of background, the original work never made beyond a
proof of concept / alpha status. There should be a 2 install ISOs out
there. It was very unstable and it would trash the disk. Even at the
time, OpenBSD was vastly ahead in support for this arch so you may
want to pick as much from there to save yourself time.
Either way, best of luck Trevis, looking forward to hearing more on
your progress.
