Hello,

I have a Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M3000 that appears to have been
rendered inoperable by the OpenBSD 6.2 installer. After partitioning
and during the installation of sets, the machine abruptly shut down and
faulted its motherboard. From my limited research, it appears the only
way to clear this fault is to have Oracle dispatch a field technician,
which is out of my reach as a hobbyist. Even a full factory reset of
the SCF did not successfully clear the fault, and the machine now
refuses to power on.

Somone named Naruaki Etomi posted a message to this list on March 28,
2015, complaining of the same issue with OpenBSD 5.6. The description
of the issue in that post is virtually identical to what happened to
my machine, down to the same fault code (SCF-8003-HA), and the same
timing (during the expansion of the sets). If I hadn't found that post,
I would have dismissed this as an unlucky hardware issue.

I'm curious whether anyone is successfully using OpenBSD on an M3000.
If not, perhaps some kind of warning could be added to the SPARC64
port's website to discourage further testing?

Below is some output from the XSCF showing the fault that occurred.
It's very similar to the Etomi post from 2015.

I'd be glad to collect any other information that might be useful
to the community.
