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.

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

1.11 miod 77: Both Luna-88k and Luna-88k2 models are supported, and will boot multi-user.
78: Most of the on-board devices are supported, but the system will currently
79: run on one processor only.
