! 27: 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.

1.19 ! pefo 46: The OpenBSD/sgi port has its roots in the OpenBSD/arc port created early
! 47: in the OpenBSD history. Arc support was rather soon dropped due to lack of
! 48: interest and availability of decent hardware. The OpenBSD Mips support have
! 49: since then been supported outside the OpenBSD project. As SGI hardware have
! 50: become affordable and easy to get by, interest for a SGI port in the tree
! 51: have increased. The final piece, a working 64 bit toolchain, is now
! 52: available and the 64 bit SGI OpenBSD port is now in the tree.
