-OpenBSD/sgi is an effort to port OpenBSD to the MIPS-based Silicon Graphics -workstations. +OpenBSD/sgi currently runs on the 64 bit MIPS-based SGI O2 workstations. +Other 64 bit SGI systems will be supported in the future.
++OpenBSD/sgi is a fully featured 64 bit port and will thus only run on systems based on 64 bit processors, eg R4000 and up. +
+ + +-This port is still in the beginning stages. +The OpenBSD/sgi port has its roots in the OpenBSD/arc port created early +in the OpenBSD history. Arc support was rather soon dropped due to lack of +interest and availability of decent hardware. The OpenBSD Mips support have +since then been supported outside the OpenBSD project. As SGI hardware have +become affordable and easy to get by, interest for a SGI port in the tree +have increased. The final piece, a working 64 bit toolchain, is now +available and the 64 bit SGI OpenBSD port is now in the tree.
+-Please contact Per Fogelström and -Wilbern Cobb if you would like more -information. +Currently OpenBSD/sgi runs in 64 bit mode and boot multi-user on supported +systems. Snapshots are made periodically as the port develops and expands.

+
+While most models support expansion via PCI many PCI devices may work. +However each device has to be tested before they will be listed here as +supported so if support for a particular device is wanted, suitable hardware +must be made available to a developer who can test and verify functionality. +
+ + ++Please contact Per Fogelström +if you would like more information. +
+ ++OpenBSD/sgi is not yet released in an official release. +
+ ++Snapshots are made available from time to time, in +this location +as well as in a few +mirrors. +Here are the + +OpenBSD/sgi snapshot installation instructions + as well. + +
+Until a bootable CD is avaialble, netbooting is the only available +installation method. +
