The people working the most on OpenBSD/mvme68k currently consists of Theo de Raadt, and Dale Rahn. Of course others are very welcome!
The same kernel will (hopefully) eventually run on all
of the following:
MVME147
(68030): this works stably
Motorola makes a few older 68020/68851 models which could perhaps also be supported. As well, I've noticed that Heurikon 68040/68060 cards have similar scsi/ethernet/serial/vme chips.
For all these ports, diskless booting using sun-style bootparams/nfs works fine.
Note: This port has COMPAT_SUNOS support, so it can run SunOS sun3 binaries. As such, I think this is probably the fastest machine capable of running SunOS sun3 binaries....
