FreeBSD used to be a top-notch option on UltraSPARC systems, but it currently isn’t well supported. It’s been a Tier-2 architecture for a couple of releases, and won’t be supported at all in the upcoming FreeBSD 13, due out in late March.
The SunFire V245, though, is known to work with the latest release of FreeBSD (12.2) 2021-01-17 1:48 pm
FreeBSD was never top-notch on UltraSPARC systems. There was never any sun4v support and the sun4u support always had issues. Same goes for NetBSD; there has been work on copying over bits from OpenBSD for sun4v but it has never reached a point of being usable. With FreeBSD it is now dead. OpenBSD is the only BSD with top-notch support and supports pretty much every model of system out there including the latest and greatest.
