- <h3><font color="#0000e0">History:</font></h3>
- 
- <p>
- The powerpc port was first imported into OpenBSD at the end of 1996.
- Portions of the kernel came from the NetBSD/macppc port, and the
- userland and build pieces came from
- <a href="mailto:drahn@openbsd.org">Dale Rahn</a>.
- 
- <p>
- Dale added ELF binary support, and then work with Per Fogelstrom
- continued on general driver support for the next few releases.
- Support was added for OpenFirmware, VI Power4e boards, MCG Powerstack
- machines, DEC 21040, VGA terminal support, and so on.
- 
- <p>
- In 1998, the focus shifted towards the Apple machines, and Dale Rahn
- started work to make the range of iMacs and PowerMacs work with this port.
- Due to this, official powerpc releases were not made for the 2.6 and 2.7
- releases as work continued.  A number of compiler loader issues were resolved,
- iMac driver support was added, and compatibility with older systems
- was withdrawn to fully concentrate on the Apple machines.  
- 
- <p>
- OpenBSD/powerpc 2.8 supported Apple hardware.
- 
- <p>
- In 2.8 -current powerpc has moved to UVM, this change has fixed the corrupted
- shared library "pmap" bug that was rather pervasive.

+ <h3><font color="#0000e0">Shared HFS disks:</font></h3>
+ <p>
+ It is possible to share a disk between MacOS (OS X?) and OpenBSD.
+ MacOS must be installed first, and an Unused partition or other free
+ partition can then be used to install OpenBSD.
+ If a shared disk is to be used and be bootable, the bootloader "ofwboot"
+ must be copied onto the first HFS partition.
+ See INSTALL.powerpc for more details on how to install a shared disk.

+ <h3><font color="#0000e0">Known Problems</font></h3>
+ The adb keyboard driver, on the iBook and Titanium Powerbook G4,
+ has problems such that some keystrokes can cause crashes. This
+ problem is mostly contained to multiple keypresses involving the
+ <code>Fn</code> key. Also note that <CTRL><CMD><POWER> will reset
+ the machine.
+ <p>
+ USB Hot-Plug detection problems exist on many of the newer systems.
+ This problem only exists with the root hub on systems which have only
+ one port per root hub, G4 tower systems, PowerBook G4,
