A Sun Fire T2000 server. Runs Open= BSD just fine. I tried to get FreeBSD 10.2 installed and the CD boot trapp= ed with illegal instruction. I don't check this email that often, but I wi= ll be willing to run some test builds to see if they will boot/install. Yeah, freebsd-10.x will likely never run on sun4v. I have a T2000 arriving soon. I'll spin up openbsd on it to see how it runs and see what we can crime to update/resurrect the sun4v support. -a > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-sparc64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= "
