Hello,

If it has fcode it should be bootable. Not sure what they mean by
'Solaris SPARC capable' - different variant of the card that comes with
fcode? Or 'capable' as in 'Solaris knows how to handle it' ? There's
only one way to find out I guess.

Come on, NetBSD/sparc64 boots fairly quick and I think your chances to
get this working are pretty good ;)

have fun
