Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: HEAD
Changes since 1.56: +16 -22 lines 

Substantially clean up and modernize HTML markup across openbsd.org.

This was done with three purposes in mind:
- to reduce the massive amount of inline HTML, to be easier on developers
  adding actual content
- to allow running the HTML validator across the source (doing this found
  many unintentional mistakes in the present code, including at least a
  dozen cases of half- or fully-invisible text)
- to separate content from presentation, so appearance can be controlled
  through stylesheets

Great care was taken to keep all pages, even very old ones, looking the
same, give or take a few pixels of whitespace.

Much review, critique, and improvement from tj@

OpenBSD/armish runs on various ARM-based appliances,
using the Redboot bootloader (and which boot Linux by default).

<h3 id="history"><strong>History:</strong></h3>

<p>
OpenBSD/armish is the 3rd OpenBSD port to ARM based machines, after
<a href="cats.html">cats</a> and <a href="zaurus.html">zaurus</a>.
It is intended to support a variety of rather similar ARM-based
machines:

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/DPA/Index.aspx">
    Certance CP3100</a>
<li><a href="http://www.thecus.com/product.php?PROD_ID=1">
    Thecus N2100</a> (plus rebadged versions: Allnet ALL6500, Evesham SilverSTOR M-Box)
<li><a href="http://www.thecus.com/product.php?PROD_ID=2">
    Thecus N4100</a> (plus rebadged versions: Allnet ALL6400, Evesham SilverSTOR XS)
<li>IO-DATA HDL-Gxxx, HDL-GWxxx, and HDL-GZxxx series
    <ul>
    <li>These models are a subset of the "Giga-landisk" product line, but the
    HDL-GXxxx models are not compatible (use Marvell CPUs).
    <li>The standard "landisk" (100mbit) machines are instead supported by the
    <a href="landisk.html">landisk</a> architecture.
    </ul>
</ul>

<h3 id="status"><strong>Current status:</strong></h3>

<ul>
<li>The Thecus N2100 runs multiuser and boots from disk using its own
bootloader, or from the network using built-in Redboot.
<li>The IO-DATA HDL-G series is multiuser and will soon be able to
boot from disk as well.
</ul>
