I had no problems with either FreeBSD or OpenBSD on SPARC64. If you need to install more than one version of OpenBSD and have the total drive space for it, the Gentoo SILO may work.
1. I did say, "May work." 2. You would have to reinstall what you have plus the latest stable OpenBSD for SPARC64. 3. You would have limited space and that may mean no compiling just package adding. 4. I could very well be wrong.
