Since I don't know what the platform of choice would be in the BSD ( I will use the term BSD instead of Free/NetBSD deliberately to avoid discussions of what should be used as the base OS ), I can only comment on what could be done from my perspective. [ ... ] if you really want to help with the netbsd/sparc project, send mail to majordomo@netbsd.org with no subject and a body of 'help'. then, when you get a reply, join the mailing lists you're interested in, in particular, port-sparc. somethings that are lacking at the moment: o there is no fd driver o the sun4 and sun4m support is non complete yet. o the sun4d support has not been started (to my knowledge ;-) o the rss field of a process is always bogus. and numerous others. contact deraadt@fsa.ca for more details, or just ask on port-sparc.
