For me it was because I was unable to get NetBSD to install from their USENIX CDROM and I was able to get OpenBSD to install from their USENIX CDROM. I tried both a ss5/110 and ss20/40. Also for a 2nd OS (to FreeBSD), IMHO OpenBSD offers something a little bit different from the others since they can bundle all the crypto they want. OpenBSD has incorporated NetBSD's UVM, so from an "hum wonder what's different", I think OpenBSD fit that for me. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
