The OpenBSD/sgi port has its roots in the OpenBSD/arc
port created early in the OpenBSD history. ARC support was rather soon
discontinued due to the lack of interest and availability of decent hardware.

Eventually SGI hardware became more affordable and obtainable, and interest
for an SGI port in the tree increased.
The final piece, a working 64 bit toolchain, eventually became available and
allowed the 64 bit SGI OpenBSD port to appear in 2004.

Hardware support was initially limited to the O2 workstations. Efforts to port to more systems did not really start until 2008, where the first 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 to run on the Fuel workstations, and even later, also on Origin 350 servers. -The earlier generation of R4000 Indigo, Indy and Indigo 2 was not forgotten -either and support for it appeared in 2012.
