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.

564: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
565: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
566: installed on the machine.
567: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
568: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
569: <pre>
570: boot disk:b
