Got System autoconfig using bootable images, heading for single-user.
History:
+ This project was started in one of those days when the only
+ open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
+ Lites and
+ MkLinux.
+ These two sources were a major supply of information and
+ code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
+ The HPBSD
+ is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
+ not publicly available.
+ One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
+ (besides the code, of course ;) is
+ support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and binutils, which allowed quick
+ build of cross-tools environment for development.
+
+ Later on HP decided to sponsor a
+ Linux port to PA-RISC
+ machines which actually resulted in some proprietory documentaion
+ release, even they target different class of 9000 machines.
+
+ So far here is a history of OpenBSD/hppa port
+ (it has no dates, but use
+ cvs to see what happened when):
- kernel symbol table loading by /boot (symbolic debugging !)
- init(8) execs fine, subsequent single-user shell exits,
