61: <p>
1.98 nick 62: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 63: the first time in January 1999.
64: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
65: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 nick 66: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 67: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
68: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 69: </p>
70:
1.48 jason 71: <p>
72: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
73: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
74: devices required for X11R6 support) and bugs exposed by the 64 bit big endian
75: nature of UltraSPARC in many obscure places have been fixed. And
76: work is continuing...

82:
83: <p>
84: Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
1.86 miod 85: supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable.
1.4 art 86: </p>
87:
1.49 matthieu 88: <p>
1.102 jmc 89: XFree86 is supported on most systems.
1.49 matthieu 90: Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server
91: at the current time.
1.86 miod 92: It is possible to use X in frame buffer mode with either the SBus
1.65 jason 93: bwtwo, cgthree and cgsix cards, on-board ATI graphics or the UPA Creator,
1.59 fgsch 94: Creator 3D or Elite 3D at the boot resolution/depth using the wsfb(4) driver.

423:
424: <p>
425: The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is
1.115 david 426: <a href="34.html">OpenBSD 3.4</a>.
1.89 miod 427: Here are the
1.115 david 428: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">

1.89 miod 430: </a>.
431: </p>
432:
433: <p>
434: Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
435: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64">this location</a>
436: as well as in a few
437: <a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
438: Here are the
1.93 pb 439: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
1.89 miod 440: OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions
441: </a> as well.
442: </p>
443:
444: <p>
445: There are several installation media provided, so that
446: OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on
1.98 nick 447: Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies,
448: as well as network and diskless installs.
1.89 miod 449: <ul>
450: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
451: <p>
452: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
453: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
454: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
455: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
456: kernel configuration file.
457: The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
458: <pre>
459: boot cdrom
460: </pre>
461: </p></li>
1.115 david 462: <li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy34.fs)
1.89 miod 463: <p>
464: Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel
465: containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware:
466: <ul>
467: <li>Ultra 1/1E
468: <li>Ultra 2
469: </ul>
470: as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
471: However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
472: In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
473: allow installation from cdrom media.
474: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
475: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>
476: kernel configuration file.
477: The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
478: <pre>
479: boot floppy
480: </pre>
481: </p></li>
1.115 david 482: <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot34.fs)
1.89 miod 483: <p>
484: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
485: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
486: installed on the machine.
487: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
488: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
489: <pre>
490: boot disk:b
491: </pre>
492: (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
493: partition).
494: </p></li>
495: <li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
496: <p>
497: Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
498: boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
499: the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
500: Refer to the
501: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>
502: manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
503: </p></li>
504: </ul>
505: </p>
506:
507: <p>
508: Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
509: Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
510: they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
