I want to congratulate the sparc core team on the installation utility.
Once I got the boot and inst file systems onto floppies, it went VERY
smoothly.  I did not have to drop into the shell once.  (I'm not too hip
on the new /etc/rc.d, but that's a different story.)

BUT,

I'm having serious troubles with openssl.  On NetBSD/sparc 1.4.2, I did
get one core dump and a number of non-fatal errors when doing "make test"
for openssl-0.9.5a installed by pkgsrc and openssl-0.9.6 self-installed.
However, trying to run the tests for openssl-0.9.6 on 1.5 resulted in
fatal errors almost immediately in the randtest.

If others are building openssl-0.9.6, I urge you to not skip the tests.

I'm working on a PR, but it's going to take time.  Someone more knowledgeable
might want to take a wack at it.  I need to upgrade my i386 ports also
since it might not be sparc specific.
