Once the Sun3 pmap problems are taken care of, the bulk of the
remaining work is just to pull in the "bus" support code from
the sparc port (obio/vme/...) and some drivers (the ie ethernet).

It will probably take a while, since nobody appears to be putting
large amounts of time into the project (including me).

You probably need a PROM upgrade:  I think you need PROM version 3.0.1
before you can boot with the Archive 150 (or just quiet the complaints.)
