1.4       deraadt    21: The NetBSD/hp300 port is unable to run executables from any of the
                     22: other m68k architectures because it uses executables with a 4K page
                     23: size.  All the other m68k ports use 8K pagesize executables.  There
                     24: are 3 other m68k ports (sun3, amiga, atari) that use a HARDWARE 8K
                     25: pagesize, and will never be able to efficiently run 4K executables.

                     29: As a result, OpenBSD/hp300 was changed to use 8K executables as well.
                     30: For compatibility, it can also run the old 4K executables.  No
                     31: measurable performance losses or filesize increases are incurred by
                     32: using 8K pagesize executables.
