Well, I have a SPARCprinter, obviously, but getting it to you could be
nontrivial. I'll be happy to test-boot kernels for you, though. Yes,
I probably would need COMPAT_ options for my userland to be happy.
Alternatively, we could arrange to get a dd image of a disk to me and I
could test-boot that; I have plenty of spare disks and wouldn't mind
earmarking one for your tests for a while. Contact me off-list and we
can hash out details.
