Using Creator 3D on an Ultra 1E?

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Hello,

I have always  wanted to get myself a 64 bit machine to run FreeBSD on,
but haven't been able to justify the expense of a new machine. Recently,
I was given a Sun Ultra 1E Creator 3D. I already runs FreeBSD (installed
via serial console):
user at ultra1$ uname -a
FreeBSD ultra1.kg4.no 5.3-BETA7 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 #0: Sun Oct  3
11:24:02 UTC 2004    
root at bobbi.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  sparc64

The machine isn't very fast, but it works.
And today, I have gotten a "Sun framebuffer to VGA monitor" adapter, so
now I want to test the Creator 3D, to see if it will work. I discovered
that there is no output from the framebuffer as default (hey, I just
*had* to try), so I guess I'll have to do some work to get this set up.
Perhaps make a new kernel?

I have serached on Google, but ther doesn't seem to be much
documentation about FreeBSD (or XFree for that matter) on a Creator 3D.
Could somebody point me in the direction of some documentation that
explains what I need to do?

Any advice appreciated.
