  I'm sorry, I shouldn't kvetch, the rest is top quality, but the folks
  involved in the Solaris port are, I think, too well acquainted with
  soldering guns and serial terminals.
  
  If you want to take it that way, that's a compliment, I guess, at least
  everyone will understand the meaning, I think.
  
Please see 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20030118130344.GA7513

and it would help all the sparc64/FreeBSD users if this was
well documented or at least referenced upon request.  I have
used the method described above.
