Well the install of NetBSD-1.6 sparc64 went reasonably well on the
SunFire V100, except for mis-adventures using DHCP.  I sent a PR
(#18432) about the weird "kbd breakpoint" as it tried to do its thing.

I also ended up having to use my FTP server's IP number as it seems to
have failed to get the proper nameservers, or at least failed to use
them properly.  It works fine in the multiuser boot with GENERIC
though....

Also note I mistakenly posted on port-sparc (forgetting port-sparc64
existed) about problems with the 1.6 miniroot.fs image possibly being
corrupted.  Please see:

	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2002/09/15/0008.html

along with another post today that's not yet in the mail-index....

NetBooting the INSTALL kernel is definitely far superior to the miniroot
trick anyway, esp. since it allows you to re-partition the disk, but the
miniroot install (at least on sparc, dunno about sparc64) lets you do a
re-partition and in the process corrupts its own running root FS!.

FYI, netbooting a sparc kernel results in an endless loop of register
dumps spewing on the screen and I had to hard reset the machine
(i.e. the LOM "break" command was ignored, but "reset" worked).

I should also note that sysinst is extremely annoying, visually, when
you're running it through a serial console with an xterm as your
terminal.  It keeps flipping back and forth between the full-screen mode
and the scrolling mode.

The only other major problem is that NetBSD seems to be unable to
properly read the real-time clock on this machine.  It gets everything
right but the year, which ends up being 1970.

Note too the "ukphy"s for the tlp Ethernets, and note also that the
INSTALL kernel spewed "intr_establish: intr reused 7c0" (with different
numbers each time) a couple of times during the probes.

OpenBSD claims full support for the V100 so perhaps there are some
patches that can be borrowed back.....

I picked a slightly larger root partition size, and much larger swap and
/var sizes, than sysinst did (and I turned off /usr, which was on by
default).  These defaults really need working on for modern machines.
What would be really nice is if sysinst could set up full RAIDframe
mirroring on twinned disks like this system has (even though they are
both on the same IDE controller)!  :-)

I don't know how long I'll have this machine here, so if anyone wants me
to try anything, let me know ASAP.....  I'm not subscribed to this list
(yet), so take care with addressing any replies.
