For the Ultra 20, I can say it works pretty well with RELENG_6_1
(32-bit).

% uname -mrs
FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE i386
% uptime
 1:13PM  up 121 days, 1 min, 2 users, load averages: 0,04 0,01 0,00

SATA, sound[1], USB, DVD burner, the weird nVidia's NIC, and the graphics
card work without issues (so far). I do, however, added the second NIC
(Intel PRO 10/100) as I don't exactly trust the nve(4) driver yet (even
though it seems to work on this particular motherboard).

There is no high load on the machine, just a workstation with X.org and KDE.
