Folks,

Last week I was at the AUUG 2005 conference where they had a Sun Fire V40Z
which was part of the display that Sun put on for the conference.  On
the last day we were allowed to install other operating systems onto
the beast - the OpenBSD guys put theirs on (it worked FWIW), and I
then installed NetBSD onto the machine, cross built a MP on my laptop
and booted to that.  With the short testing I did NetBSD performed
flawlessly on the machine.

The machine specs were quad dual core opterons (8 cpus in other
words), 16Gb of RAM, two U320 SCSI hard drives.

About the only problem I noticed was that top was not entirely happy
with displaying the memory size correctly - the amount of free memory
reported by top was off by a long way (an order of magnitude or so).
I think the problem is confined to top because vmstat seemed to report
the correct numbers...

I copied over the base source and started a build.sh.  Unfortunately I
omitted to copy over the X source as well so the build.sh did not
complete but the base source tree was built entirely in roughly half
an hour (this was with -j 16).  I would estimate a full build.sh
release would complete in about an hour or so.

Below is the dmesg.boot from the machine:
