According to http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2002/03/15/0005.html, 
you need to add "options WI_AT_BIGENDIAN_BUS_HACK" to the kernel config
because of some endianism confusion on the nell's part.

Actually, I have a question of my own for the list: assuming this does
work on sparc32, is there any reason why it would break on sparc64?
