After the last post I decided that the work around wasn't worth it and tried running FreeBSD.
Well I went to start compiling and a dependency for apache, dhcp, php was broken, I did some searching and apparently its been broken since may for sparc. So I kinda just said fuck it with freebsd.(should of written it down)
I started to install linux, but I needed a proprietary driver for the disk controller (fiber-channel) I got it up and running but the drives won't format, showed up fine but when I went to partition them they go from 76GB to 12gb and crash.
So I ended up install openbsd.
Its working fine so far, have to compile a good bit of the software I need (less then required for freebsd). Only come across a couple things that won't compile from the ports. But I am running it on a sparc and can't imagine their too much of a following, (though openbsd seems to have the best support next to netbsd outside of solaris, but solaris is sloopy, convoluted and huge. netbsd and openbsd are a little more transparent).
