Log message:
an amd64 arch support.
hacked by art@ from netbsd sources and then later debugged
by me into the shape where it can host itself.
no bootloader yet as needs redoing from the
recent advanced i386 sources (anyone? ;)
"
Note that it still needs some work on the bootloader part.

OpenBSD started from NetBSD and there's no reason all the BSD's can't share with one another. After all, that's what OSS is all about.

If something bothers you, fix it.
If you can't, shut up :)

And what's so sad about it, how would it be better if the code was original? I hate NIH attitude!

While it's a good point, we have heard it so many times now that it is utterly pointless. Many people don't know how to do things, but may very well desire them.

I bake good vegan cookies. Let me know where to send them and i will, though they might not be warm by the time they get there. You keep coding and i'll keep baking.

Theo might like supporting niche processors like the VIA with it's crypto support but with the rest of the world developing SMT capable chips and dual core chips, OpenBSD is going to get edged out if it doesn't have SMP.

What's the throughput of a dual CPU setup? If it's 1.75x faster than a single CPU setup, then it might be worth it. However, I doubt it'll be anything higher than 1.25x.

What I miss about the Opteron is an ISA slot
for my graphics card (Hercules) though.

there is no such thing as W^X per page protection.
what is there is no-exec protection bit that has
no more to do with W^X than rubber with internal combustion engine.
besides. no-exec exists on some x86-32 processors too.
