1.8 downsj 42: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
1.64 miod 43: types of machine are supported with 68030 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 44: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 45:
46: <p>
1.8 downsj 47: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
48: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
49: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
50:
1.13 downsj 51: <p>
1.71 sthen 52: Over time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
1.32 miod 53: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
54:
55: <p>
56: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
57: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 58:
59: <p>
60: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
61: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
1.55 david 62: detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers
1.57 martin 63: (as of 3.7), as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse (as of 3.8).
