I have some Sparc64 hardware myself. A Sun Fire T2000 server. Runs OpenBSD just fine. I tried to get FreeBSD 10.2 installed and the CD boot trapped with illegal instruction. I don't check this email that often, but I will be willing to run some test builds to see if they will boot/install. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
