Hello all,

we still have several Sparc64 machines (Sun Fire v210 / 240 / 245) in use.

FreeBSD 12.4 is end of life from 31 Dec 2023. It is no longer supported in =
FreeBSD 13.0 and later.
Due to lack of maintainer support for the ports over the last years it was =
already difficult or impossible to build up-to-date software from the ports=
 under Sparc64 (buggy GMP / GCC 9).

In our evaluation phase for an alternative Platform:

- Solaris 10 with https://unixpackages.com/
- Openindiana (Beta for Sparc)
- Debian 7 (for Sparc) ... too old

We think that OpenBSD with its current release and up to date software pack=
ages is the best option for us, even if we will miss ZFS sorely :/

What steps need to be followed for OpenBSD to fully boot "rootfs" from a So=
ftRAID?

Our manual adjustments in the shell of the bsd.rd installer have only ever =
worked with creating a separate root partition "/" as 4.2BSD
and then using bioctl to create a RAID partition for "/tmp" + "/var" + "/us=
r" + "/home".


Mit freundlichen Gr??en
