The biggest one is the fact that the sun3x uses a 68030 and Motorola MMU, 
not the Sun MMU.  This means that it will use a pmap/pmap_bootstrap 
similar to the hp300/amiga/atari, etc.  Also, it uses the same SCSI as 
the sparcstation, I believe ... not really a problem, but it's just 
different...the memory management stuff is the biggest, I think.
