I am certainly not the person to bring life to a seemingly dead project, but what you propose is encouraging... playing around with the idea of getting already existing Net/Open BSD functionality (i.e. the ability to install on my Sparc 2! ;) implemented into FreeBSD is a good thing, IMCO. While these older systems are not 'cutting edge', Sparc 2-4 systems are as prvelent in our University as Ultra Sparcs... and why not be able to run FreeBSD on any system one encounters (a noble, albeit time-consuming goal? :)?
