-History and Status:
-
-The i386 port has quite a few architecture specific changes from the
-NetBSD/i386 port, but the major ones are:
-
-- Also runs on machines with 512MB of ram or more, does not crash.
-
- the addition of ISA bounce buffer support so that ISA scsi cards (ie.
- Adaptec 1542) can be used in machines with more than 16MB of memory.
-
- The same one GENERIC kernel works on all machines, whether it has
- BusLogic or Adaptec scsi cards.
-
- some DDB improvements
-
- OPTI mcd support
-
- ATAPI cdrom support
-
- P5/P6 improved NTP support
-
- pccons has userland replaceable keymaps, and screen blanking
-
- boot "-a" support like other ports (asks for root partition)
-
- floppy disk formatting
-
- Cyclades Cyclom serial driver
-
- faster (assembly) IP checksumming (typically 20% faster, up to 62% faster
- in some cases)
-
- vmstat -i prints interrupt information.
-
- latest rev of adaptec 2940 driver from FreeBSD
-
- supports "ep* at port ? irq ?"
-
- faster i386-specific `pccom' device driver.
-
- /dev/pctr pseudo-device & program for accessing the Pentium and PentiumPro
- performance counters.
-
- Fixed major i386 kernel interrupt race.
-
- Fixed UCONSOLE security hole without breaking xconsole.
-
- ISA Plug-and-Play support
-
- the GPL FP emulator from Linux/Freebsd, for users who want to use it.
- Much better!
-
- Prefer partition type 166, so that OpenBSD can co-reside on the same
- disk as a 386BSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD install.
-
- Attempt to fault in a ptp; this avoids two ptp panic cases.
-
- RAW_PART is now 'c', not 'd'. It should start at 0, and cover your whole
- disk.
-
- Updated ncr driver, much more performance.
-
- 3c59x and 3c9xx cards work.
-
- Can mount DOS file systems with cluster size > 16KB.
-
- Support for M$ IntelliMouse as a 3-button PS/2 mouse.
-
- Support for Industrial Computer Source PCI-WDT50x watchdog timers.
-

Installation with Other Operating Systems:
The OpenBSD/i386 port can be installed to share the system disks with
other operating systems such as MSDOS, Windows or Linux using the MSDOS
