Hello all, I got it to work. I've been using Wireshark to try and dissect what's happening. The loader makes a number of NFS requests (I do not have NFS set up) which time out, making the booting process excruciatingly slow. Setting up NFS will cause it to boot much faster even if there's nothing to loaded via NFS. NFS is not really optional even though the loader pulls everything via TFTP. I've been following Craig Butler's post here for the most part. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2010-April/007175.html -- Joel Heikkila
