1.67 deraadt 60: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 61: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 62: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 63: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 64: These two sources were a major supply of information and
65: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 66: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 67: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
68: not publicly available.
69: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 70: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
71: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
72: for development.
73: </p>
74:
1.38 mickey 75: <p>
1.74 miod 76: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
77: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
78: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
79: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
80: machines back then.

1.93 miod 369: The <tt>lif33.fs</tt> file contains both a bootloader and an installation
1.92 miod 370: miniroot.
1.74 miod 371: To boot it from the network, a server machine has to be setup so as to
372: let the hppa machine retrieve it:
1.45 miod 373: <ol>
1.66 jufi 374: <li>Server setup
1.45 miod 375: <ul>
1.74 miod 376: <li>For older machines (705, 7[1235]0, old 715)
377: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rbootd&sektion=8">rbootd</a>
378: must be setup and started.
1.45 miod 379: <ul>
1.74 miod 380: <li><tt>/etc/rbootd.conf</tt> contains a single line per machine
381: needing to boot from the server. Each line contains the ethernet
382: address of the client hppa machine, and the filename to be loaded from
383: the tftp server (relative to <tt>/usr/mdec/rbootd</tt>).
384: For example:
1.28 todd 385: <pre>
1.93 miod 386: 8:0:9:70:c4:11 lif33.fs # 9000/720
387: 8:0:9:19:fb:a0 lif33.fs # 9000/725
1.28 todd 388: </pre>
1.45 miod 389: </li>
390: </ul>
391: </li>
1.74 miod 392: <li>Recent machines (712, newer 715, 725) will not look for rbootd at all,
393: but instead require a <b>bootp</b> setup.
