And Mark added support for the Sun Enterprise 10000 (SMP and e10k RTC support). Theo thought it was very beneficial as a few bugs effecting other systems were picked up in the process. I thought I would extend the opportunity to the FreeBSD-sparc team. Additionally, the machine might be of use in the development of FreeBSD's Jails if anyone on that team is interested. Mike Spenard
