I've gotten OpenBSD 3.1 working on those. It's finally stable! ;-)
I've had luck installing on those through the swapfile method. i.e. you
dd a miniroot filesystem into the swap partition, reboot, STOP-A, and at
the OK prompt do a "boot disk:b bsd" which then boots the OS loader. At
that point you can install the whole OS over ftp.
I haven't gotten X working yet on the console but I haven't really
tried. Aside from that it is very stable.
I've got the MySQL guys poking around in there working on an official
port to OpenBSD/sparc. When they are done they will put binaries out on
their public web site for this platform. That lone made it a good use
of time & hardware I think.
