                     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.
