Well, the build machine seems to be a 68040 class Macintosh and it
has been turning up new snapshots in a regular manner. So anyone
could check by themself that OpenBSD/mac68k works at least on
Quadras.

The only problem I got with 3.4 on my Quadra 650 is that there isn't
any pre-compiled package made for it. (They are all linked against
previous libraries version that are no longer part of 3.4. So they
should work for anyone that updated to 3.4, not new installs.)

The OP might have been wrong to do such a generalisation on
OpenBSD/mac68k based on 2 machines. But he is trying to install on
68030 Macs. None of the exemple you provide of working mac68k setup
are of that category of Macs.

Maybe 68030 support is broken. Maybe someone with a working 3.4 or
3.5-beta 68030 Mac could come out and say that OpenBSD still works
on those.
