I run OpenBSD/sparc64 on an SBus Ultra 1 with a qfe as a router/firewall for a
home LAN with ADSL connection. The hardware was available cheaply, so it
wasn't worth buying a different box to use.

I want to use pf for firewalling (it seems to be an excellent IPv4/IPv6
firewall, and it's easy to configure). Given the choice between porting pf to
Solaris or using OpenBSD/sparc64 (which has pf already included), I chose to
install OpenBSD.
