OpenBSD/hp300 runs on most of the HP 9000 series 300 and 400 workstations, based
on the Motorola 680x0 processor family.
-
There is currently no maintainer for this port, although
Todd Miller (millert@openbsd.org)
hacks on it from time to time.
Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with
SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
-
OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
-
Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
- This enables the port to support things like
- User Kernel Config and the generic SCSI subsystem.
-
Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
using a serial console on the first serial port.

+
+ Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
+ base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
+ detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers (in
+ -CURRENT only).

supported hardware section below boots
multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
usable, unless specified otherwise.
-
OpenBSD/hp300 is able to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the
COMPAT_SUNOS kernel option (a few have been tested and work).
COMPAT_HPUX is also available for HP-UX binaries, but has
! not been tested recently (but this used to be enough to get HP-UX X11 environment
! to run).
!
Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting with
a serial console. The symptoms of this are panics during the kernel
autoconfiguration process; this can be avoided by using faster/different
terminals or by eliminating the terminal's use of flow control.
-
! A native X11 server is available for the topcat and hyperion
! frame buffer families, but it only supports the X11R5 protocol.
! On the other frame buffers, the HP-UX X11R5 server can be run under emulation.

! Machines with SGC framebuffers are currently restricted to serial console.
! However, it is possible afterwards to spawn a terminal on the glass console and
! use it as a ``normal'' workstation.
+
+ A native, unaccelerated X11R6 server is available for all supported frame
+ buffers but the SGC frame buffers.

Projects (in no particular order):
***************
*** 109,118 ****
! - Merge recent development from NetBSD
!
- Switch the console and keyboard subsystem to wscons
!
- Provide native X11 servers for all the supported frame buffers
!
- Work on SGC bus support (for 425e frame buffer)
--- 107,115 ----
! - Driver for the Domain keyboard.
!
- Allow SGC frame buffers to be used as console.
!
- Provide an X11 server for the SGC frame buffers.
