23: OpenBSD/hp300 runs on most of the HP 9000 series 300 and 400 workstations, based
24: on the Motorola 680x0 processor family.
25:
26: <p>
27: There is currently no maintainer for this port, although
28: Todd Miller (<a href="mailto:millert@openbsd.org">millert@openbsd.org</a>)
29: hacks on it from time to time.
30: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

1.3 fn 47: <p>
1.8 downsj 48: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
49: types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 50: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 51:
52: <p>
1.8 downsj 53: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
54: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
55: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
56:
1.13 downsj 57: <p>
1.32 miod 58: Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
59: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
60:
61: <p>
62: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
63: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 64:
65: <p>
66: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
67: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
68: detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers (in
69: -CURRENT only).

74:
75: <p>
76: Currently, all the hardware listed in the
1.47 nick 77: <a href="#hardware">supported hardware</a> section below boots
1.32 miod 78: multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
1.45 pedro 79: usable, unless specified otherwise.
1.32 miod 80:
81: <p>
82: OpenBSD/hp300 is able to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the
83: <strong>COMPAT_SUNOS</strong> kernel option (a few have been tested and work).
84: <strong>COMPAT_HPUX</strong> is also available for HP-UX binaries, but has
1.49 miod 85: not been tested recently (but this used to be enough to get HP-UX
86: X11 environment to run).
1.32 miod 87:
88: <p>
1.38 nick 89: Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting with
1.35 nick 90: a serial console. The symptoms of this are panics during the kernel
1.32 miod 91: autoconfiguration process; this can be avoided by using faster/different
92: terminals or by eliminating the terminal's use of flow control.
93:
94: <p>
1.49 miod 95: A native, unaccelerated X11R6 server is available for all supported frame
96: buffers but the SGC frame buffers.
