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/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. -

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. -
