1.3 fn 43: <p>
1.8 downsj 44: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
1.64 miod 45: types of machine are supported with 68030 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 46: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 47:
48: <p>
1.8 downsj 49: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
50: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
51: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
52:
1.13 downsj 53: <p>
1.71 sthen 54: Over time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
1.32 miod 55: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
56:
57: <p>
58: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
59: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 60:
61: <p>
62: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
63: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
1.55 david 64: detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers
1.57 martin 65: (as of 3.7), as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse (as of 3.8).
