Thanks Marius.! I actually borrowed T2000 and M3 server from other group. Don't have access to those machine now.
So it is clear that we don't have full sun4v support from above link.
And also my main goal is not a sparc machine with FreeBSD. I am planning to make mpslsi driver endian safe, so I just need either PPC or SPARC FreeBSD8-2 support to test my driver.

A much thanks for offering such wonderful support.
