One of my friend has a Sparccenter 2000 (sun4d too), afaik there are no
free operating system out there with SMP support for that kind of
hardware. We managed to install linux on it without any noticeable issue
-without SMP support- but we haven't tried NetBSD.
Sun droped sun4d support after Solaris 8 but it's not too hard to find a
media kit and it is imho the best choice for sun4d.
