Thanks.

As soon as someone can provide you with a T1000 or T2000 - I think
Paul may already have one.  I went out of my way to make sure that:

export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=<objpath>; make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=sparc64
TARGET=sun4v; make buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 TARGET=sun4v; su;
make installworld TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 TARGET=sun4v DESTDIR=<path>;
make installkernel TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 TARGET=sun4v DESTDIR=<path>;

would just work straight out of perforce.

I ended up doing make -j8 buildworld because make -j32 exposed a panic
inducing race in NFS about 30 minutes in.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of locking contention
we're getting in the kernel.
