Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and ! supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable. Since 3.0 ! shipped, hardware support has improved and X11R6 support has been added.
! There hasn't yet been a need for a separate mailing list for OpenBSD/sparc64, ! so the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list is being used. ! To join the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list, send a message body of "subscribe ! sparc" to majordomo@OpenBSD.org. ! Please be sure to check our mailing list policy before ! subscribing. !
! !! XFree86 Version 4.2.1 is supported on most systems. Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server at the current time. ! It is possible to use X in framebuffer mode with either the SBus bwtwo, cgthree and cgsix cards, on-board ATI graphics or the UPA Creator, Creator 3D or Elite 3D at the boot resolution/depth using the wsfb(4) driver.

!! A number of install options exist:
! Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
! drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.
! For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
!
! RAMDISK config file.
!
! This 1.44MB floppy image supports the following sparc64 hardware: !
!
! The miniroot is a complete filesystem image, to be dumped on your machines' swap ! partition, and booted from afterwards. Its device support is similar to the ! CD boot image. !
! The boot image can also be downloaded from the network, using a ! diskless(8) like setup. The device support is similar to the CD boot image. !
- Use the method that works best for you.
Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
! installation notes for details.
