There is no OpenBSD 1.0. OpenBSD started their versioning at 2.0 (I
guess Theo considered NetBSD 1.0 to be the 1.0 version for OpenBSD).

IMHpersonalO, FreeBSD 2.2.8 is so old, that doing anything with that
version may be a fun project, but the end result would not be foldable
back into the offical FreeBSD source code, and thus the work would
stagnate and never go anywhere.

Since most don't have SunOS source, why overlay SunOS rather than NetBSD
(or OpenBSD)? That is how FreeBSD/Alpha came about. IIRC, first
NetBSD's userland was replaced with FreeBSD's (with teaks in libc for the
syscall differences). Then the NetBSD kernel grew into the FreeBSD
kernel.

Can you please document this? I've never heard of this before.
(that and when/how there was a 1.0 version of OpenBSD).
