Hello,

I believe that answer on both you question is "yes", but unfortunately
can't say more beacuse I'm not a SPARC-guru, sorry (you have contacted
www team). Could you direct your questions to port-sparc64@NetBSD.org
maillist [1], please? This mailing list was specially created for
owners of UltraSPARC-based systems.

Thanks you for interest in NetBSD and good luck!
