which is now fine and can boot the kernel however, in order to try to
install the OS I exported the CD via NFS.
You're booting bsd, you need to boot bsd.rd, then you can just do a
standard installation via the usual installer. Either tell the machine
to boot bsd.rd (something like boot net:bsd.rd iirc, but I can never
remember exactly what, unfortunately the sparc64 boot loader doesn't
let you choose the kernel as most other arch do so you have to
catch it in ofw and do it there), or just copy bsd.rd to bsd in
the nfs tree.
You should be able to mount and use the nfs-exported tgz if you want
(the sparc64 ramdisk does have nfs client), though I normally just do a
standard http install.
Thanks so much Stuart, I've managed to successfully install OpenBSD 5.2
now which is using the GENERIC.mp kernel so I guess all is well :-)
Now I just need to figure out while using it as router/firewall/nat if I
will get better transfer speeds then my Netra T105 so that I can have a
proper firewall again for my DSL WAN link.
