 agree !
 in fact, my work room has 1xU5 and 2xU10 that act the same "weird" way.
 I mean, my U5 is (from 2.0.2 / 3.0_BETA) working really got.
 In the same time, the machine at my work keeps freezing (during pkgsrc wor=
k).

 Although those machines ended in my room because they "looked" dead (after
 savage electric shutdown and such), they worked pretty well with Solaris 9=
 and OpenBSD 3.6.
 In the same time, using NetBSD (2.0.2 or 3.0_BETA), the machines freeze ra=
ther quickly on
 pkgsrc build process.
 I thought, Sun released quite "standard" machine (compared to DELL, for eg=
, where a single
 server ref might contain various ethernet card and such). I mean, an U5/33=
3 is 100% identical to
 another U5/333.

 All that to say, I'm wondering if it's possible that NetBSD/sparc64 deal w=
orse with some "small"
 hardware issues than Sol|OpenBSD do. NetBSD locks (no gdb, nothing on cons=
ole, nothing on screen)
 but the other OS don't say anything special.
