A few asked me about the possible NetBSD/luna88k port.
I have one luna88k unit at hand, and I successfully woke the unit
after 3.5 year deep sleep.
I took a glance at Mach3 MK84 luna88k and OpenBSD/mvme88k, and
concluded that a plently of work has to be done for modern pmap on
UVM. I think there is no unknown about the peripheral hardwares.
The porting effort will begin next month keeping NetBSD/mvme88k
compatiblity in mind.
