It's more a question of whether FreeBSD 8.2 supports whatever system is built around your US-II. Unlike the PC, there's much more variation in the SPARC world and the kernel needs to know about the hardware. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/sparc.html As for installing, it's much the same as for x86 - either boot an installation DVD or netboot. Main differences are that it's not possible to multiboot (each different OS needs a distinct disk) and you can't boot ZFS. -- Peter Jeremy
