 I had to manually type all of this.

 Then it freezes.
 
 I tried FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (Sparc64) and it actually boots up.  The
 problem is the keymaps for Type 6 and possibly other Sun keyboards is
 messed up, and changing options at the console layout prompt have no
 effect, the install program comes up in b&w and is unnavigatable.  The
 screen corrupts the view of any menu accessed, which can only be done with
 strange key combinations.  The partitioner sees the disk though, despite
 not being able to read through the garble.  The system is running OBP
 3.11.
