There really isn't any magic to bringing up a port. You compile it, install it, and then run it until it breaks. Once it breaks you spend a lot of time instrumenting the code to track down what went wrong.
About what I expected.
I've just bumped into your bsdtalk interview: http://cisx1.uma.maine.edu/~wbackman/bsdtalk/bsdtalk086.mp3 This appears to give a useful overview into the sun4v port. One thing you mention is that you'd started work on a virtual network driver. How far did this get and can you point me to the code,
It seems that the latest OpenBSD runs on sun4v. I haven't investigated how well supported it is.
