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.

        !            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.
