The only major thing preventing this will be the lack of sbus suppport. Chances are that we'll have that at some point, especially since the SPARCstation 5/10/20 machines all use sbus, so someday you will hopefully be able to run FreeBSD on it. I don't know how hard it will be to write the sbus code. About as hard as PCI?
