The 486-based SunPC SBus card officially works on Solaris 2.6 as well.

The backend server is FreeBSD with ZFS. Works like a charm after one figures out the stuff needed in /tftpboot as well as the dhcpd stuff. I am using one of the quad ethernet interfaces as the bootable device and it runs fine with NFS over that same interface. Has anyone tried to bond interfaces together? I figure with LACP bonding of all four qeX interfaces the thing would be just fine over the NFS with *almost* reseonable performance. The internal disks currently have Solaris 2.5.1 installed with the SUN PC card support. The machine has the Intel i486 co-processor SBus module in there. That will never ever work on anything after Solaris 2.5.1 most likely. Anyways it boots and runs fine over the network and I only wish LACP was possible. Is it? -- -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken |
