25: <p>
26: The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the sun3 and sun3x
27: ports were still different entities. The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are
28: completely specific to the Sun3 port are basically the same as their NetBSD
29: counterparts.

43: OpenBSD will not run on 3/160 machines with only 2Mb of memory, and very
44: hardly on 4Mb machines.

62: You should read the

68: The first boot of the system will take some time do to the generation of a DSA key for ssh. This can take up to 15 minutes on a 3/160, but times can vary greatly depending on your machine. This is a one time process and is nothing to worry about.

72: The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes
1.34 ericj 73: coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and from the ``>''
1.28 todd 74: prompt use ``b le()bsd'' to reboot again. It usually works on the second
1.35 ericj 75: try. Alternatively, you can boot single-user ``b le()bsd -s'', and exit
76: single-user mode as soon as it appears with control-D.
77: This behaviour doesn't appear when running from a local harddisk.

1.35 ericj 81: Kenneth Stailey had written patches for OpenBSD/sun3, which should have been
