Exactly.  

# sysctl hw
hw.machine=sparc
hw.model=SUNW,SPARCclassic, TMS390S10 @ 50 MHz, on-chip FPU
hw.ncpu=1
hw.byteorder=4321
hw.physmem=66744320
hw.usermem=66486272
hw.pagesize=4096
hw.disknames=sd0
hw.diskcount=1

This machine is so old that running a wi pcmcia card in the sbus-pcmcia bridge 
causes the cpu to go to 100% because of the byte-ordering swaps when you try 
to push more than about 2Mbit of traffic through the wireless card.  That's 
the ultimate in self-DoS because even the serial console was screaming for 
interrupt handling...
