worked it into shape for the NetBSD tree. Theo and Markus Wild worked

on improving Chris' original SunOS compatibility code into a highly

complete and reliable emulation. Chuck Cranor ported the sun4c code to

the 8KB pagesized Sun4 architecture, and Theo merged this code in a

the 8KB pagesize sun4 architecture, and Theo merged this code in a

way that would allow the same kernel and programs to run on either

sun4c or sun4 machines (unlike Sun's separate kernel environments).

This last change also required a rewrite of the device configuration

code. Just after the NetBSD/sparc 1.0 release, Peter Galbavy wrote an

ESP scsi device driver as a replacement for Chris' sparc-specific scsi

code, this new driver unfortunately had some problems and was eventually

code.

Theo, and that it supports disconnect/reconnect.

Work on porting OpenBSD/sparc to the sun4m platform was started by Theo,

but tendinitis problems with his wrists and the problems with the NetBSD

core conspired, and he stopped work. Theo passed his initial sun4m work

to Aaron Brown of Harvard, who was paid out of Margo Seltzer's research

funds. This initial stuff consisted mostly of a few attempts at building

pmap structure that could support all 3 MMU types efficiently. Also,

Over the time, Art Grabowski fixed various stability or reliability issues,

and added non-executable stack and heap on sun4m machines.

improving display speed with some frame buffers, and supporting more cards.

<h3>

Getting and installing OpenBSD/sparc:

</h3>

The last supported OpenBSD/sparc release is

<a href="32.html">OpenBSD 3.2</a>.

Here are the

OpenBSD/sparc 3.2 installation instructions

</a>.

Snapshots are made available from time to time, in

<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc">this location</a>

as well as in a few

<a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.

Here are the

OpenBSD/sparc snapshot installation instructions

</a> as well.

There are several installation media provided, so that

OpenBSD/sparc can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on

sun4c and sun4m, miniroot images for machines without floppies

(and sun4 machines), as well as network and diskless installs.

<ul>

<li><a href="ftp.html">Snapshots are made available from time to time.</a>

<li>CD boot

<li><a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/sparc/INSTALL.sparc">Installation information</a>

Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing

a GENERIC kernel with drivers for all devices found on Sparc machines.

For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC?rev=HEAD">GENERIC</a>

kernel configuration file.

The CD can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with

<pre>

boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd

</pre>

</li>

<li>Floppy (floppy32.fs)

Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel

containing drivers for the most popular devices found on Sparc machines.

For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>

kernel configuration file.

The floppy can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with

<pre>

boot floppy

</pre>

</li>

<li>Miniroot (miniroot32.fs)

The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,

and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system

installed on the machine.

After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the

miniroot can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with a command such as

<pre>

boot disk:b

</pre>

(the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap

partition).

</li>

<li>Netboot (boot.net, bsd.rd)

Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc

boot loader, <tt>boot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access

the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.

Refer to the

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>

manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
