1.8 drahn 56: The OpenBSD/pegasos port was started early 2003 when
57: <a href="http://www.genesi.lu">Genesi</a> contacted
58: Dale Rahn to port OpenBSD to their newly released
59: <a href="http://www.pegasosppc.com">motherboard</a>.
1.7 miod 60: After several months of hiatus, the port was revived and eventually
61: made public.
1.1 drahn 62:

1.9 miod 71: Both Pegasos I and Pegasos II boards are supported.
72: However, the Pegasos II gigabit networking interface is not supported yet.
1.8 drahn 73: <p>
1.9 miod 74: The boards can be used with either vga (AGP or PCI) graphics console,
75: or with a serial console. The latter can be selected whether a vga card is
76: present or missing, with firmware settings.
