23: OpenBSD/hp300 runs on most of the HP 9000 series 300 and 400 workstations, based

29: Todd Miller (<a href="mailto:millert@openbsd.org">millert@openbsd.org</a>)

1.1 deraadt 49:
1.3 fn 50: <p>
1.8 downsj 51: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
52: types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 53: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 54: </p>
55:
56: <p>
1.8 downsj 57: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
58: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
59: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
60: </p>
61:
1.13 downsj 62: <p>
1.32 miod 63: Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
64: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
65: This enables the port to support things like
66: <i>User Kernel Config</i> and, in the future, the generic SCSI subsystem.
67: </p>
68:
69: <p>
70: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
71: using a serial console on the first serial port.

76: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
77:
78: <p>
79: Currently, all the hardware listed in the
80: <a href="#hardware">supported hardware list</a> section below boots
81: multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
82: useable, unless specified otherwise.
83: </p>
84:
85: <p>
86: OpenBSD/hp300 is able to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the
87: <strong>COMPAT_SUNOS</strong> kernel option (a few have been tested and work).
88: <strong>COMPAT_HPUX</strong> is also available for HP-UX binaries, but has
1.38 ! nick 89: not been tested recently (but this used to be enough to get HP-UX X11 environment
1.32 miod 90: to run).
91: </p>
92:
93: <p>
1.38 ! nick 94: Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting with
1.35 nick 95: a serial console. The symptoms of this are panics during the kernel
1.32 miod 96: autoconfiguration process; this can be avoided by using faster/different
97: terminals or by eliminating the terminal's use of flow control.
98: </p>
99:
100: <p>
101: The X-Window system is working on all supported frame buffers, although the
102: X server only supports the X11R5 protocol.
