this article gives some brief instructions on installing freebsd/sparc64 5.0-current. please keep in mind that this port is a work in progress, and as such, the installation procedure is much more involved than for freebsd/i386 or freebsd/alpha.

this text describes how to install and boot the sparc64 port. users of this port are encouraged to subscribe to the freebsd sparc porting mailing list <freebsd-sparc@freebsd.org>.
warning: the kernel and userland binaries mentioned below are highly experimental (for example, the kernel contains some ata changes and eeprom handling code which could potentially be dangerous). unless you know what you are doing and are willing to cope with any damage that might arise, you should probably not be trying this.
unlike freebsd/i386 or freebsd/alpha, there is no version of sysinstall(8) for freebsd/sparc64. the installation procedure consists of loading a kernel (either from cdrom or the network) onto the sparc64 machine, with a root filesystem on cdrom or exported via nfs. the utilities on the root filesystem can then be used to partition the local disk on the sparc64 machine and optionally to copy the freebsd distribution to the local disk to make a stand-alone machine.
1.1 preparationcurrently, there are two ways to install freebsd/sparc64 on a new machine. by far the easier of the two is to install from cdrom; this method allows you to install freebsd without any dependencies on any other computers.
if installing from cdrom is impossible or undesirable, the alternative is to install over the network. this requires another machine, suitably configured, to serve the boot loader, kernel, and root filesystem to the new machine, via a combination of rarp, tftp, and either bootp or dhcp. this netboot server can be another freebsd machine, but is not required to be.
you will need to decide which of these methods you want to use for installation, as this will determine the set of files you need to download (if any), as well as the steps required to do the installation.
