1.8 downsj 21: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
22: types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with
23: SCSI and HPIB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 24: </p>
25:
26: <p>
1.8 downsj 27: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
28: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
29: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
30: </p>
31:
1.13 downsj 32: <p>
33: The hp300 port has now also switched to the regular config(8) for kernel
34: configuration. This enables the port to support things like
35: <i>User Kernel Config</i> and, in the future, the generic SCSI sub-system.

1.14 downsj 130:
1.8 downsj 131: <p>
1.14 downsj 132: OpenBSD/hp300 is known to run old pre-1.2 NetBSD m68k4k binaries via the
133: <strong>COMPAT_M68K4K</strong>, <strong>COMPAT_10</strong> and
134: <strong>COMPAT_11</strong> kernel options; it is assumed that it will
135: also still run hp300 4.4BSD binaries. <strong>COMPAT_SUNOS</strong> may be
136: used to run sun3 SunOS binaries (a few have been tested and work).
137: <strong>COMPAT_HPUX</strong> is also available, but has not been tested.
138: </p>
1.8 downsj 139:
140: <p>
1.14 downsj 141: Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting from
142: a serial console. The symptom of this are panics during the kernel
143: autoconfiguration process; this can be avoided by using faster/different
144: terminals or by eliminating the terminal's use of flow control.
1.3 fn 145: </p>
1.1 deraadt 146:
1.18 downsj 147: <p>
148: There is now (untested) support for the 425e; a terminal must be connected
149: to the first serial port in order to boot the system. If anyone gets
150: a 425e to work, please let me know.
