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.
25:
26: <p>
1.26 miod 27: Due to hardware difficulties, the OpenBSD/luna88k port has not been
28: updated after the 4.1 release.
1.27 miod 29: These problems have been solved, and the port is being worked on again.

60: <p>
61: The LUNA workstation family was manufactured by
62: <a href="http://www.omron.com">OMRON corporation</a> in the early 1990s.
63: After several models based upon the Motorola 680x0 family,
64: the last designs were multiprocessor systems based upon the
65: Motorola 88100 processor.
66:
67: <p>
68: Kenji Aoyama wanted to run a modern operating system on his LUNA-88K2 and
69: eventually got tired of waiting for someone else to do this effort, so he
70: started to merge the
71: <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/luna68k/">NetBSD/luna68k</a> device
72: support with the
73: <a href="mvme88k.html">OpenBSD/mvme88k</a> hardware support in January 2002.
1.6 david 74: His efforts were eventually successful and his machine booted multi-user near
1.1 miod 75: the end of 2003.

1.11 miod 82: Both Luna-88k and Luna-88k2 models are supported, and will boot multi-user.
83: Most of the on-board devices are supported, but the system will currently
84: run on one processor only.
