<h2>OpenBSD/mac68k</h2>

<hr>

<p>

OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the m68k-based Macintosh machines. It

requires a Motorola 68020, 68030, or a 68040 processor. If you have a

68020, it will also need a Motorola 68851 PMMU (note that this is

different from the 68881, which is an FPU). While the system is

quite useful (it's being run as an internet server and router), there

is still plenty of work to be done. Please jump in and become a part

of the action!

<h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>

<p>

The mac68k port of OpenBSD runs on the same machines as the NetBSD port,

The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it

but it is quite different in several respects. Only a small percentage of

supports the same hardware as NetBSD-current. This does not mean

the full system lies within the machine-dependent section.

that OpenBSD is the same as NetBSD. Far from it. The kernel makes

up only a small part of the full system.
