Here's a more complete list: i386: this port is quite stable and complete, as many of you know... CONTACT: netbsd-users@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hp300: a 68030 box. this port is very stable. biggest problem as I understand it are the bootblocks. CONTACT: mycroft@duality.gnu.ai.mit.edu (duality is a hp300 running NetBSD that stays up 30+ days at a time..) amiga: for amiga3000's, with amiga4000's being worked on. This port is very stable too. the sunos-compat code is in this kernel, so it can run sunos sun3 executables. CONTACT: mw@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu mac: for some 68030/68020 models. work in progress to increase the list of compatible machines. this port is fairly stable as I understand it. CONTACT: finchm@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu sparc: based on torek's sparc code in bsd4.4, this runs on sun4c machines, ie. ss1/ss2/ss1+/ipc/ipc/slc/elc. it runs sunos binaries, but is still buggy. CONTACT: deraadt@fsa.ca pc532: the pc532 is a National Semiconductor 32532-based board developed by a group of people in a usenet newsgroup. a fairly stable kernel but lacks a working scsi driver. CONTACT: phil@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu sun3: the sun3 code (for the sun3/50 and 60 models first) is ready to go single user. device drivers are lacking, but some of them can be leveraged from the sparc and amiga ports. CONTACT: glass@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu pmax: also known as the "decstation", ie. the 3000 and 5000 series. the code was donated independently, but is what is in bsd4.4. It has not yet been integrated into the tree and is looking for a few good kernel-slaves.. CONTACT: deraadt@fsa.ca da30: a custom VME-style 68030 board, I think. From what I've heard this is pretty stable. CONTACT: paulus@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu i've heard about/talked to a few other people are working on various other ports.
