In which case it probably won't run on any 9000/200 series machine. The
9817 was a 68010 with an HP-designed MMU (lots of small chips), I believe
there as a CPU board for the 9836 that had an MMU circuit on it,
presumably similar to that in a 9817. That board, nd indeed all other
9000/200 machines, were plain 68000 processors.
I am probablty being unfair, but I find all the 9000 series after the
9000/200 to be 'boring unix boxes'. Lots of HP custom silicon (some, I
believe have PA-RISC CPUs, the ones that are 68K-based have other HP
custom chips in them). The 9000/200 series hae a few PALs in them, but
they are mostly stadnard chips. And there are some interesting add-on boards
for them, admittedly those can often be used in the 9000/300 series too.
So I go after the 9000/200 machines, but ignore the later ones.

No idea what this BSD prot needs... Maybe
it'll run on an MMU-less machine.
I don't recall the particulars, but I'm fairly certain they require an
MMU. I believe the machines that were used as the basis for the port
at the UofU were 68020 or better.
