<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The OpenBSD/pegasos port was started early 2003 when
<a href="http://www.genesi.lu">Genesi</a> contacted
Dale Rahn to port OpenBSD to their newly released
<a href="http://www.pegasosppc.com">motherboard</a>.
After several months of hiatus, the port was revived and eventually
made public.
<p>
Pegasos II support was added early 2004.
<hr>
<a name="status"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
Both Pegasos I and Pegasos II boards are supported.
However, the Pegasos II gigabit networking interface is not supported yet.
<p>
The boards can be used with either vga (AGP or PCI) graphics console,
or with a serial console. The latter can be selected whether a vga card is
present or missing, with firmware settings.
<hr>
<a name="X11"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>X11:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
XFree86 has only been tested using the accelerated ATI driver,
the classic vga driver and drivers for other firmware supported
video have not been tested.
<p>
Directions on enabling the accelerated X server can be found
in the <tt>/usr/X11R6/README</tt> file on the installed system.

<p>
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/pegasos">this location</a>
as well as in a few
<a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
Here are the
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/pegasos/INSTALL.pegasos">
OpenBSD/pegasos snapshot installation instructions
</a> as well.
<p>
<!-- There are several installation media provided: -->
Currently, only one installation media is provided:
<ul>
<li><strong>CD boot</strong>
<p>
With the OpenBSD CD inserted in the cdrom drive, the CD can be booted
at the OpenFirmware prompt, with (on PegII)
<pre>
boot cd OFWBOOT 3.4/pegasos/bsd.rd
</pre>
or (on PegI)
<pre>
boot cd:OFWBOOT 3.4/pegasos/bsd.rd
</pre>
</ul>
Currently MBR labeled disks are used by OpenBSD/pegasos for booting.
RDB labeled disk is supported but not documented fully yet.
<p>
Typical booting from the installed harddrive depends on PegI/PegII,
firmware differences
On a pegII
<pre>
boot hd:3 ofwboot
</pre>
On a Peg I,
<pre>
boot /dev/pci/ide/disk@0,0:3,ofwboot
</pre>
<p>
To boot an alternate kernel,
<pre>
boot hd:3 ofwboot /bsd.alt
</pre>
or on Peg I the kernelname must be specified twice due to how use_argv[0]?
is handled
<pre>
boot /dev/pci/ide/disk@0,0:3,ofwboot /bsd.alt /bsd.alt
</pre>
On the Peg I, the first /bsd.alt argument seems be dropped by the bootloader.
