Brad Parker's version of the MIT Sun simulator may be able to boot BSD.
I have mods which will allow it boot early sun os version (sunos 2.0,
3.2 & 3.5).
Everything works except the ethernet on 3.5 - I need to fix that.
(I miss my old sun-2 :-)
The code is pretty dense but also pretty complete. The sun-2 is 68010
based. As I recall
the sun-3 is 68020 based. I can't remember if there were any 68030
based sun's.
