Thanks for the info.  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? :)?

Thanks again...
