-There is someone working on a ppc port. +A snapshot for the powerpc has been made available. +This is still rather preliminary and should not be considered +finished, it is currently about beta level.
-Contact Theo de Raadt if you -are interested in working with other people on this, or need more +The port does not yet contain real device drivers. It currently uses +openfirmware for all device driver needs, console, disk, ethernet. +It can be installed from floppy and network or cdrom. Netboot and netroot +support is there but untested. +
+ ++Currently known working hardware include the following Motorola machines +with OpenFirmware, PPC1bug firmware is known not to work: +
+The powerpc specific portions of the kernel came from the NetBSD port +by Wolfgang Solfrank. The userland and build tools came from an +independant and incomplete port by Dale Rahn. Hopefully pieces +from that other port will be merged, device driver support for +interrupts and some real driver support. +The conversion to the Wolfgang port was done because it was running +multiuser and the other port was still single user out of memory ramdisk +(no fully working device drivers). +
+ ++Contact +Theo de Raadt or +Dale Rahn +if you are interested in working with other people on this, or need more information.
