That book, as well as ultralinux and netbsd-sparc64, that's all i found available except some manuals from Firmworks.com that explained the openfirmware boot loader to me. > (My interest is prompted by the fact a spare Ultra-1 landed under > my desk at work.) If it's a 140 or 170 (not the 170/e) you should be able to try netbsd on it. My problem is that i purchased a souped up ultra (170/e) and netbsd doeesn't yet support my SCSI, ethernet and display hardware. :( -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
