Hi John,

Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately testing is fairly difficult at the 
moment as I can't build a suitable test .iso to boot in QEMU as detailed 
in 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2014-August/009474.html. 
Do you have any idea as to how to resolve the cross-build issue so I can 
create a valid .iso?


Many thanks,

Mark.
