 OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on the following classes of machines:
-	- sun4  -- 4/100, 4/200, and 4/300.   (note that support
-		   for the 4/400 processor is incomplete)
-	- sun4c -- SS1, SS1+, SS2, IPC, ELC, IPX, and SLC
-	- sun4m -- Sun Sparc Classic, LX, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 600MP
-	- Tadpole SPARCbook 3GS, 3GX and 3XP
-	- Force CPU5V
-	- as well as faithful clones of the above Sun systems, such as:
-		+ Aries Research Inc, Parrot II
-		+ Axil 243, 245, 320 (and possibly other models)
-		+ Opus 5000, 5250
-		+ TWS,SuperCOMPstation-20S
-		+ Tatung micro COMPstation 5, COMPstation LX

+    * sun4: the VME series
+	- 4/100: Original sparc with VME. Many hardware bugs.
+	- 4/200: A fairly decent VME-only machine
+	- 4/300: a 25MHz VME machine with many devices built onto the main
+	  board. In other respects, it is quite similar to the SS1+.
+
+    * sun4c:
+    	- SS1: the original 20MHz sun4c. Hardware limitations prevent SBus
+	  DMA peripherals from working in some of the slots.
+	- SS1+: 25MHz version of the above. Hardware limitations prevent
+	  SBus DMA peripherals from working in some of the slots.
+	- IPC: SS1+ in a cube, with bwtwo graphics builtin
+	- SLC: SS1+ built into a B&W monitor
+	- SS2: 40MHz version of the SS1
+	- IPX: SS2 in a cube, with cgsix graphics builtin
+	- ELC: SS2-performance built into a B&W monitor
+
+    * sun4m:
+	- 600MP: The original Sun4m machine. This is a mbus machine with
+	  SBus and VME busses.
+	- LC: 50MHz MicroSPARC-1 based machines (aka Classic)
+	- LX: LC with a few more devices
+	- SS4: Reduced cost version of the SS5, available at 70MHz and
+	  110MHz
+	- SS5: MicroSPARC-2 based machines available in 60, 70, 85, and 110
+	  MHz versions
+	- SS5: TurboSPARC cpus in accelerated SS5 machines, running at
+	  170MHz
+	- SS10: Pizzabox mbus-based machine
+	- SS20: Improved pizzabox mbus-based machine
+	- Sun Voyager (untested)
+

+The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and ~60M of disk space.
+To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
+X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.  (OpenBSD with 4M of
+RAM feels like Solaris with 4M of RAM.) Note that until you have
+around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a
+faster CPU.)  Installation from "ramdisk" kernels requires 8M of RAM.
+
