I'm looking for a recommendation for a big endian CPU system that
works well with FreeBSD. It would be best if it didn't use a 4KB

PCI Express with at least two x8 slots and PCI-X would be a plus.
A half-height or full-height rack style chassis would be best,
though a tower configuration would also be suitable.
I want to do some wider testing on non-Intel based systems with
current and new Broadcom drivers. Feel free to email me directly
if you have a suggestion.
sparc64 but only the newer and bigger boxes have PCIe ports.
Btw. sparc64 is not only big-endian, it has 8k pages (at least I think
FreeBSD uses the 8k ones like the other BSDs) is strict aligned and uses
an IOMMU for DMA. If it works on sparc64 it has good chances to work on
most other boxes as well.
oops I didn't notice the PCI-e requirement.. I guess that lets out the
mac G4 machines.
