  <p>
  OpenBSD/sparc can be reasonably described as a continuation of the
  NetBSD/sparc development with improvements.  The current status is
! somewhere between under development and ready for gneral use, in that
  it does support many of the Sparc based systems and their peripherals,
  and can be quite reliable depending on the system configuration and
  usage.

! The installation tools and process as of the 2.0 release are currently not
! in user-friendly form, as most developers short-cut the process from running
! SunOS or OpenBSD systems.  This situation is currently being improved.

! The installation tools and process as of the 2.1 release are greatly
! improved over previous releases of OpenBSD.  OpenBSD/sparc can be installed
! or upgraded via floppy boot images on sun4c and sun4m, miniroot images 
! for machines without floppies (and sun4 machines).
