Thank you for the reply. The word I am given from other people is that anything sun4v will fail. However NetBSD runs fine on a lot of sun4u ultrasparc machines and even on sun4m old old machines. Also the Fujitsu M3000 is broken entirely. Useless for anything but very limited Solaris 10. -- -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken
