<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>
<p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to Sun Microsystem's
UltraSPARC&reg; architecture. UltraSPARC is a
<a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">
Tier 1</a> architecture, and as such is fully supported by the
<a href="&base;">FreeBSD</a> project. However, the port
is not as mature as the existing i386 or alpha ports. Discussion of the
UltraSPARC port takes place on the
<a href="http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64">freebsd-sparc</a>
mailing list.</p>

<p>The following systems are supported, but can only be netbooted due to
the onboard SCSI controller being unsupported. Work is underway to add
support for this SCSI controller. These systems may work with the esp
driver imported from <a href="http://www.NetBSD.org">NetBSD</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Enterprise 3500</li>
<li>Enterprise 4500</li>
</ul>
<p>The following systems are unsupported.</p>
<ul>
<li>Any system with an UltraSPARC III or greater processor.</li>
<li>Ultra 1</li>
</ul>
<p>Any system not listed here that does not have an UltraSPARC III or greater
processor is expected to work, but may not have been tested. If you have
a system that is not listed here please try it, and let
<a href="mailto:freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.org">us</a> know about it.</p>
