I'm also interested in getting Plan 9 running on some Sun hardware.
Specificially, I have a sparcstation 5 and sparcstation 10.
I know C, but I've never worked on any operating system porting projects,
so I'm not exactly sure where one starts. Cross compile the kernel, then the
compiler, then recompile natively, recoding where necessary?
Is there a good document out there on porting Plan 9, or should I get ideas from
other projects like netbsd and linux?
I suppose I also need to get my hands on a sparc ISA doc.
