! OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Apple Macintosh computers. ! 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).

A mailing list dedicated to the OpenBSD/mac68k port is available at mac68k@openbsd.org. To join the OpenBSD/mac68k mailing list, send a message body of "subscribe --- 20,38 ----


! OpenBSD/mac68k used to run on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Apple Macintosh computers. ! It used to require a Motorola 68020 or better processor, with an external ! Motorola 68851 PMMU in case of a 68020.

! There is currently no one working on bringing this port back to life. ! The source code is still available in the CVS Attic, and code can be found in ! NetBSD as well.

The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it used to support most of the same hardware as NetBSD.

Active building and testing of OpenBSD/mac68k was discontinued after OpenBSD 4.6 due to lack of interest with developers and builder. -

Current status:

! All hardware listed in the ! supported hardware section below should boot ! multi-user, and support enough of the on-board devices to be generally ! usable. -

The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it used to support most of the same hardware as NetBSD. +

Active building and testing of OpenBSD/mac68k was discontinued after OpenBSD 4.6 due to lack of interest with developers and builder. +

! Eventually the lack of a proper firmware interface, requiring the use of a ! MacOS application as the bootloader, with little or no possibility of updating ! this application to match progress in OpenBSD (let alone rebuild it with a ! free software toolchain) convinced the developers to give up supporting this ! port, and remove the code from the tree. !
