Much of the firmware isn't Sun's. I'm sure that we have the problem for wifi, disks and others. (All of which will require a new cross-compiler and tools to build the firmware) Are we really going for OSS or are we looking at an OS which can be distributed (bittorrent) (Say, what is Nvidia doing there?)
