1.18 ! bentley 21: OpenBSD/solbourne is an experimental port of OpenBSD to the Solbourne "IDT"
1.4 jsg 22: family of workstations, built upon the SPARC-compatible Panasonic <i>KAP</i>
1.1 miod 23: processor.

1.1 miod 29:
30: <p>
31: The KAP processor used in the IDT systems, albeit using an instruction
1.4 jsg 32: set similar to the SPARC processors, uses a completely different MMU.
1.1 miod 33: Because of this, no free operating system considered running on these Solbourne
34: machines more than a few minutes...
35:
36: <p>
37: At some point, an S4000 was donated by Mike Nicewonger to Miod Vallat, who then
38: had no excuse not to work on a port.
39: After a few years of procrastination, real work on a port eventually started in
40: march 2005, leading to an initial import in the OpenBSD tree exactly one month
41: later. And work continues...

47: <p>
48: Currently, only the S4000 system has been tested; but other systems should work,
49: although the L2 cache in the S4000DX systems is not supported yet.
50:
51: <p>
52: Right now, the system boots single-user, but userland has issues, which are
53: being worked on.
