Unfortunately, my SPARC machine is not an UltraSPARC machine, and I wasn't aware of whether or not snapshots were being created for it or not at this point, so I limited myself to talking about what I knew to be true. I knew not to recommend the Alpha because it is limited to 2G of physical memory. I didn't know what the limitation on physical memory was in the UltraSPARC, but I knew that the IA64 could handle more than 4G of physical memory, which was the IA32 limit that needed working around. Is UltraSPARC an answer to the question of how to get a larger UVA space without sacrificing KVA space, with more physical memory than an IA32, and are snapshots that boot fully multiuser and install via sysinstall available? If so, what does a motherboard with a CPU, suitable for rack mounting, cost these days? -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
