23: OpenBSD/luna88k is an effort to port OpenBSD to the
24: <a href="http://www.omron.com">OMRON</a> LUNA-88K and LUNA-88K2 workstations.

26: <p>
1.26 ! miod 27: Due to hardware difficulties, the OpenBSD/luna88k port has not been
! 28: updated after the 4.1 release.

59: <p>
60: The LUNA workstation family was manufactured by
61: <a href="http://www.omron.com">OMRON corporation</a> in the early 1990s.
62: After several models based upon the Motorola 680x0 family,
63: the last designs were multiprocessor systems based upon the
64: Motorola 88100 processor.
65:
66: <p>
67: Kenji Aoyama wanted to run a modern operating system on his LUNA-88K2 and
68: eventually got tired of waiting for someone else to do this effort, so he
69: started to merge the
70: <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/luna68k/">NetBSD/luna68k</a> device
71: support with the
72: <a href="mvme88k.html">OpenBSD/mvme88k</a> hardware support in January 2002.
1.6 david 73: His efforts were eventually successful and his machine booted multi-user near
1.1 miod 74: the end of 2003.
1.26 ! miod 75: <p>
! 76: Unfortunately, his machine died shortly before the OpenBSD 4.2 release.
! 77: As long as no developer has a working luna88k machine, the port is kept
! 78: stagnant and neither snapshots nor releases are built.

1.11 miod 85: Both Luna-88k and Luna-88k2 models are supported, and will boot multi-user.
86: Most of the on-board devices are supported, but the system will currently
87: run on one processor only.
