1.8 downsj 41: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
1.64 miod 42: types of machine are supported with 68030 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 43: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 44:
45: <p>
1.8 downsj 46: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
47: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
48: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
49:
1.13 downsj 50: <p>
1.71 sthen 51: Over time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
1.32 miod 52: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
53:
54: <p>
55: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
56: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 57:
58: <p>
59: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
60: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
1.55 david 61: detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers
1.57 martin 62: (as of 3.7), as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse (as of 3.8).
