Scott,

Just be warned of this:

Revision 1.305: download - view: text, markup, annotated - select for
diffs
Mon Sep 15 21:04:59 2008 UTC (6 weeks, 5 days ago) by kettenis
Branches: MAIN
Diff to: previous 1.304: preferred, coloured
Changes since revision 1.304: +3 -3 lines
Remove m4k/m5k/m8k/m9k from list of supported machines; running OpenBSD on
these machines can fault the system board requiring a Sun support engineer to
come by to clear the fault.

http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html

But i don't know if now it's save. kettenis should drive you.

BTW, you should try a snapshot instead of 4.4 release.
