! Work on porting OpenBSD/sparc to the sun4m platform is currently in
! progress.  This work is being done in cooperation between the OpenBSD
! group and a research group at a US university. This research group
! wishes to remain anonymous at this time.  This work should be
! available for integration within the next few months.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD/sparc can be correctly described as NetBSD/sparc + improvements.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! Recently Theo and Jason Downs began merging the NetBSD sparc code back into
! OpenBSD.  OpenBSD/sparc is becoming usable again.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  The people working the most on OpenBSD/sparc currently consists of
! Chuck Cranor, Theo de Raadt, and David Miller. Of course, others are
! very welcome!

! Work on porting OpenBSD/sparc to the sun4m platform was started by Theo,
! but tendonitis problems with his wrists and the problems with the NetBSD
! core conspired, and he stopped work.  Theo passed his initial sun4m work 
! to Aaron Brown of Harvard, who was paid out of Margo Seltzer's research
! funds.  This initial stuff consisted mostly of a few attempts at building
! pmap structure that could support all 3 MMU types efficiently).  Also,
! David Miller of the Sparclinux project got a little bit involved.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! Recently Theo and Jason Downs began merging the NetBSD sparc code back into
! OpenBSD.  OpenBSD/sparc is becoming usable again.  There are still a few
! OpenBSD/sparc features from older source trees that need to be re-integrated;
! these will likely surface soon.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD/sparc can be correctly described as NetBSD/sparc + improvements.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  The people working the most on OpenBSD/sparc currently consists of
! Theo de Raadt, Jason Downs, and probably Chuck Cranor again now that it
! once again works.

+ <p>
+ An important note about OpenBSD/sparc is that it is designed so that
+ a single kernel can run on *ALL* sparc machines.  Whereas SunOS and
+ Solaris have always had `kernel architectures', ie. sun4, sun4c, and
+ sun4m, the same `GENERIC' OpenBSD kernel will run on all the models.
