>Seems that the PCI port on such machine is more or less buggy... maybe it's not the machine hw but openbsd? i ran 36 sun-servers of this class with qfe-nic's and they worked very well. network redundancy and failover was also working perfectly. redundant servers taking over sessions, double wired VLANs etc...) under solaris8. did you upgrade your firmware(s)? this sometimes helped me with sun-servers (just talking 'bout solaris, never had obsd on them) /off the records/ anyway... i wonder, why one want's to run obsd on a machine, if there is an os written for this type of hw... if i had to choose between any other os and solaris on a sun-sparc, i always would run solaris... make's sense, doesn't it?
