Hi Dennis!
Good day Sir !
Sadly the Fujitsu M3000 SPARC64 VII+ does bad things after we see GRUB : (...) Sadly this machine seems to be nothing but a fancy brick with 64G of expensive ECC memory etc etc.I don't think the Fujitsu SPARC64 CPUs were ever officially supported by the Linux kernel, were they? Probably not going to happen in the future either.
Sadly the machine isa bit of a brick. Maybe NetBSD works? No idea. However a much older and smaller UltraSPARC IIi Netra seems to be working just perfect. I am doing the install now, live, streaming on YouTube. To say the least it is a slow and boring stream :) But it works ! -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC Four decades in production systems.
