	[is there a port-sparc64 list?]

[port-sparc64 should just relay to port-sparc]

	Just fyi:

	Here's as far as I got with an UltraSPARC 5, 128MB Memory, ATI Rage 3D
	(4MB):

	...

	and there it hangs.

Make sure you have a newer kernel with KERNBASE around 
0x0000000001000000 and not 0x00000000f1000000.  The older kernels had
issues with PROM mappings.  These tend to cause funny behaviors and 
clearing of the NVRAM.

	GAH!  And then I reboot and my PROM/NVRAM has been zeroed!
	(I was going to get everything before the mainbus0 line, but can't!)

	How do I reset my PROM/NVRAM?

Go hunt up a copy of the Sun NVRAM FAQ.
