Hi, the host/maintainer of cfarm420~426 here. Funny you should say that 
because I proposed 4 vm including a freebsd vm on the ampere altra 
(aarch64) system at first, but for some reason I forgot, we ended up 
with 3 vm all linux-based. Being said, we could revisit the idea, if 
there are enough people on this list express their interest in using 
such a system (e.g. at least 2 people?).

The ampere altra (aarch64) system that cfarm424~426 live on can accept 
another 1 or 2 "small" vm. I'm thinking either: two vm, each with 16 
cores + 16GB RAM + 1TB /home, or just one vm with 32 cores + 32GB RAM + 
2TB /home. For the OS we can pick one or two from 
FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD.

Also, the amd epyc (x86) system that cfarm420~422 live on can accept 
another "small" vm too. I'm thinking 32 cores + 32GB RAM + 1TB /home on 
freebsd (since cfarm220 already has openbsd).

This would be my proposal, IF there are enough people who want such *bsd 
vm systems.
