Hallo...

Looking at the nearly anemic traffic on the sparc64 list, I have some
questions about getting netbsd up and running so I can start helping.

I read earlier that I can install the a recent netbsd/sparc elf snapshot
to get something that's at least self-hosting. I guess that would require
me to go through serial, since netbsd doesn't yet support the creator
framebuffer, yes?

(I infer from this that the netbsd/sparc GENERIC kernel will boot on this
machine?)

I've had some experience with netbsd/{sun3,pmax,sparc} but this my first
ultrasparc machine...

Are there any projects good for a neophyte to start picking away at?

Thanks,

Chris
