FreeBSD newbie w/Sun Blade 100

[Adolph Alvarez]

Greetings,

I've been given a Sun Blade 100 and was interested in installing 
FreeBSD.  I have installed 5.4 on a Dell PC before but found that Xfree 
didn't support the graphics chipset on this particular box so I gave 
up.  I have much more experience installing and using Solaris and while 
long, it's pretty much automated and relatively painless.  Since my 
Blade is going on 6 years, I was wondering about the status of  the 
Sparc64 version of FreeBSD and if it fully supports this model.  I've 
got some friends who've loaded BSD on PCs and they swear by it so I'd 
love to get it to run on my Sun.

Thanks,

A. Alvarez
