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>)
30: hacks on it from time to time.

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

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