I'm looking at head_32.S and head_64.s to try and figure
out what's involved in making sparc32 relocatable but I'm
not sure what to look for. Any hints?

You'll have to learn how to load kernel TLB entries for about 4 or 5
different major TLB/cache types on sun4c, sun4m, and sun4d systems.
Couldn't you do this using OBP in a HW independent way?
This is what you need to do to relocate the kernel into a new location
then jump to it.

On sparc32, is the kernel always loaded in the lower 3 MB
of physical memory regardless of the amount of physical
memory and just left there?
