+Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300

+This enables the port to support things like

+Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,

Supported Hardware:

Current status:
+Currently, all the hardware listed in the
+supported hardware list section below boots
+multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
+useable, 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 get HP-UX X11 environment
+to run).
+
+
+
+Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting from
+a serial console. The symptom 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.
+
+
+
+The X-Window system is working on all supported frame buffers, although the
+X server only supports the X11R5 protocol.
