Octane support parts were introduced. This work was completed in 2009

with support for Origin family systems as well, allowing OpenBSD to be

the first free operating system running on the Fuel workstations.

Currently OpenBSD/sgi runs in 64 bit mode and boots multi-user on supported

systems. Snapshots are made periodically as the port develops and expands.

On most systems it is currently limited to serial console only.

Not all graphics options are supported on IP27 (Origin) and IP35 (Tezro)

This is however not the case on O2, on which it is possible to use the glass

systems yet; in this case the kernel will be limited to serial console

An X server, currently unaccelerated, is also available for IP32 (O2) systems.
