The FreeBSD/sparc port isn't progressing anywhere at the moment. Whilist i did do some work, using OpenBSD 2.8 as the base, playing with the boot blocks, learning how the prom works and interfacing to it, sparc asm (which is easy to pick up since i already knew MIPS asm), and lots of other good information from the Sparc v8 manual from Sparc International, i've gotten pretty busy lately.

I'm a 4th year student at the University of South Australia currently doing a full year DSTO project (Department of Defence - Defence Science and Technology Organisation) in Australia. (update: here is the page). I'm also working on the Wasted.Net project, and trying to find time to have a life, but not having much luck with the latter ;).

When time permits, i intend on getting back onto this. But i need an Ultra to make the FreeBSD/sparc64 port. If anybody else wishes to pick up on this, please do so.
