I'm here with the same goal.... Learn, learn and learn! 8)

Ok, so we have 2 sparkstation 5. Good. 8)
You will be considered as a tester, ok?

This could be a good starting point. Someone has more infos about this?
Teorically, it is correct, but I think (and this is MY opinion) you must modify
something if the kernels are not very, very similar. Actually I don't know if
netbsdKernel+FreeBSD userland will work, but we can try. (I have no Sparc box,
so someone else will tell us, I hope... ;) )
P.S. Please send me your entry about the developer list. (read my message "some
info" please)
Ciao Ciao
