<p>
OpenBSD/i386 runs on the standard PC's and clones, with a wide variety
of processors, I/O bus architectures and peripherals supported.

<a name="history"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The OpenBSD/i386 port has been present since the inception of the project.
Over the years, more and more hardware support has been written
specifically for OpenBSD (such as the cryptographic accelerator drivers),
or adapted from FreeBSD and NetBSD.
<hr>
<a name="status"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
It can be expected to install and run with minimal difficulty on most current
hardware.
Machines using custom BIOS (such as older proprietary PC's, laptops, and some
specialized server machines) may cause problems.
<p>
Through its binary compatibility layer, OpenBSD/i386 can run Linux, FreeBSD,
BSD/OS, SVR4 (including Solaris) and IBCS2 binaries, to some extent. Most
applications will work flawlessly.
<p>
X Window System support is available for most graphics cards, using
either the recent X.Org (6.8.2 as of OpenBSD 3.7) server whenever possible,
or XFree86 3.3.6 servers otherwise.
<hr>
<a name="hardware"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Supported hardware:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
Most laptops are supported. We have <a href="i386-laptop.html">a page</a>
that details the specifics of some common laptops.
<p>
The list of supported hardware is relevant to OpenBSD-current. It will
differ slightly from the support provided in the latest release version.
<h4>Processors</h4>
<p>
All CPU chips compatible with the Intel 80386 (i386) architecture are
supported:
<ul>
<li>80386 (SX/DX) with 80387 (SX/DX) FPU
<li>80486 (DX/DX2/DX4)
<li>Intel Pentium/Pentium-MMX
<li>Intel Pentium Pro/II/III/Celeron/Xeon
<li>Intel Pentium 4
<li>AMD 5x86
<li>AMD K5/K6/K6-2/K6-3
<li>AMD Athlon/Duron
<li>AMD Athlon 64
(Also see <a href="amd64.html">OpenBSD/amd64</a> for 64-bit support)
<li>Cyrix MediaGX/M1/M2
<li>Cyrix 6x86
<li>VIA C3
<li>Rise mP6
<li>IDT WinChip and C3
<li>NexGen 586
<li>NS Geode GX1 and M1
<li>Transmeta TMS3200, TMS5400, TMS5600
</ul>
<p>
Regular floating-point coprocessors (80387DX, 80387SX, 80487SX) are
required when not built into the processor.
<p>
Everything that is a clone of the 386 or up should work fine.
The only CPU that is known to work poorly (due to flawed motherboard designs)
is the Cyrix 386DLC.
<h4>SMP support</h4>
Starting with OpenBSD 3.6, OpenBSD/i386 supports most SMP
(Symmetrical MultiProcessor) systems.
To support SMP operation, a separate SMP kernel (<tt>bsd.mp</tt>) is
included with the installation file sets.
<p>
As this is a new feature, developers will want to see what hardware does
and doesn't work when running SMP, so it is even more important to
<a href="faq/faq4.html#SendDmesg">send a dmesg</a> after install.
<h4>Buses</h4>
<ul>
<li>All standard ISA, EISA, VLB, and PCI bus, including:
<ul>
<li>Intel 450GX/KX
<li>Intel 450NX
<li>ServerWorks chipset
</ul>
(We just had to mention those last three, since they are the hardest to
support).
<li>16-Bit PCMCIA PC Cards
<li>32-Bit CardBus PC Cards
<li>Universal Serial Bus (USB)
<li>Inter IC (I2C) bus
</ul>
<p>
The MCA bus found in various official IBM PCs is not supported.
<h4>Bus interfaces</h4>

<li>Standard PCI-PCI bridges, including PCI expansion backplanes (<i>ppb</i>)
<li>YENTA-compatible PCI-CardBus bridges (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cbb&arch=i386&sektion=4">cbb</a>)
</ul>
<h4>Entropy sources</h4>
<ul>
<li>Interrupt latency collection from many devices.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Installation with other operating systems:
</strong></font></h3>
<p>
OpenBSD/i386 can be installed to share the system disks with other operating
systems, such as MS-DOS, Windows or Linux, using the MBR/partition table
scheme, and an optional boot selector program.
Everyday operation is trouble free, but setup requires care, and several
operating systems, such as Windows 95, are known to be careless about
pre-existing MBR information.
<p>
Also, some laptop computers use a specific partition as suspend-to-disk
storage, which should not be clobbered.
<p>
More details on this process can be found in the
<a href="faq/faq4.html">Installation Guide</a> and
<a href="faq/faq14.html">Disk Setup Manual</a>.

The latest supported OpenBSD/i386 release is

Snapshots are made available from time to time, in

There are several installation media provided:
<ul>
<li><strong>CD boot</strong>
<br>
Booting off the CD provides an <i>El Torito</i> 2.88MB floppy image
that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers.
This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices and keyboard).<br>
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISK_CD?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK_CD</a>
kernel configuration file.
<li><strong>Floppy A</strong> (floppy37.fs)
<br>
This 1.44MB floppy image contains the most common drivers.
It is designed to cover the most typical PC. As a general rule, you will
find that the missing drivers are ones which need large microcodes to run,
such as for rare SCSI cards, gigabit ethernet cards, or RAID devices.<br>
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
kernel configuration file.
<li><strong>Floppy B</strong> (floppyB37.fs)
<br>
This 1.44MB floppy image contains some drivers that are missing from
Floppy A.
This media is designed to help people setting up modern server type systems.
It contains support for pretty much all the SCSI and RAID drivers, gigabit
ethernet cards, and such.
Due to space considerations, you will find that some other drivers are
missing. In particular, support for most PCMCIA devices is missing, the
MSDOS filesystem, and for really ancient hardware devices.<br>
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISKB?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKB</a>
kernel configuration file.
<li><strong>Floppy C</strong> (floppyC37.fs)
<br>
This 1.44MB floppy image contains many CardBus and PCMCIA device drivers.
This media is designed for installing on laptops.
In most cases, one would discover that Floppy A also works, but the odd
laptop might benefit more from using this image.<br>

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISKC?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKC</a>
