FreeBSD 5.1 on Sparc Ultra-10

I am about to embark on installing the
release of 5.1 for an Ultra-10.  I am currently
running Solaris 8 on this box.

It has a sun keyboard, hme ethernet,
two 4 GB HD, and a CDROM.

Can I get 5.1 up on { IDE | SCSI } CDROM?

How is X support under 5.1 on sparc-64?

I have been looking for any install docs on
sparc-64, but haven't found anything.  It seems
the Alpha port has better documentation in
the Handbook.

I've browsed the freebsd-sparc64 mailing list
archives...found nothing specific to the Ultra10,
except some questions about serial console
access.

Any pointers to FAQ's, install HOW-TO's,
or some quick points to watch out for, etc 
would be appreciated.

I will be willing to participate in any documentation
projects to help this port development.

Thanks,
