  I have a Sun Netra X1 I'd like to install FreeBSD onto.  I intend two =
drives in it, and
while I _could_ install one disc, load from an IDE CD-R, then install =
the other and
reconfigure, I was looking into the idea of either:

  a) boot/install from a USB optical drive, or
  b) boot/install from a USB flash drive.

  I notice, that at least for 9.1 release, there are only boot1 and =
disc1 ISO's for sparc64.
Does this suggest that the memstick image is known not to work? =20

  In any case, has anyone been able to get either of my desired =
solutions above to work
on a sparc64?  I'm wanting to install a self-built 9-stable, in case =
that matters.

  Thanks.

                           - Chris
