Following a surge of activity in the OpenBSD/sparc64 port to support the Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 250 and its Sparc-V cpu, Mark Kettenis (kettenis@) is now looking to extend the support for the OpenBSD Sparc64 port even further by making sure it works on the SUN Mx000 (4000 and up) line of servers.
Since we do not have these servers we would be grateful if someone that owns or uses one of these machines will let us connect to it remotely and hack on it, preferably by means of a serial connection.
If you have one of the SUN M4000, M5000, M8000 or the M9000, please contact kettenis@.(Comments are closed)

My guess is because it is such new hardware unlike most of the other stuff which is pretty common to have spare hardware even with stuff like Sun E10k's, E15k's and so on.

Then again, I wager a spare M9k is still cheaper then SUN support contracts.
