1.4 ! deraadt 22: The NetBSD/hp300 port is unable to run executables from any of the
! 23: other m68k architectures because it uses executables with a 4K page
! 24: size. All the other m68k ports use 8K pagesize executables. There
! 25: are 3 other m68k ports (sun3, amiga, atari) that use a HARDWARE 8K
! 26: pagesize, and will never be able to efficiently run 4K executables.
! 27: </p>
! 28:
! 29: <p>
! 30: As a result, OpenBSD/hp300 was changed to use 8K executables as well.
! 31: For compatibility, it can also run the old 4K executables. No
! 32: measurable performance losses or filesize increases are incurred by
! 33: using 8K pagesize executables.
