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.
26: </p>
27:
28: <p>
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.
