Hmm...  I thought this list was dead and gone.  Bryan, hope you aren't 
expecting a response from anyone else trying to run OpenBSD on old Macs 
like a Color Classic.  This distribution has stopped supporting that 
machine (PDS slot ethernet) and the likes of my Powerbook 180 a long 
time ago.

Much more support for old mac68k iron over at NetBSD.
