Re: pkgin missing on repo sparc64

Sorry to Hijack, thanks for that John, I've been wondering that same thing
myself, NetBSD is amazing on Sparc64, it's actually a daily for me, I run
it on a U10, a U60 and a Blade1000, though, it'd be amazing if someone
could pick up the driver support for the XVR-1000 card, I have one for my
Blade 1000 that I can't use with NetBSD but just seriously lack the skills
to do anything about it, though I am learning C at present, but, rushing in
to making a driver as a first big project might be a little ambitious!

Best Regards,

Dan
