57: <p>
1.98 nick 58: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 59: the first time in January 1999.
60: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
61: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 nick 62: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 63: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
64: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 65:
1.48 jason 66: <p>
67: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
68: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
69: devices required for X11R6 support) and bugs exposed by the 64 bit big endian
70: nature of UltraSPARC in many obscure places have been fixed. And
71: work is continuing...

76:
77: <p>
78: Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
1.127 pedro 79: supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally usable.
1.4 art 80:
1.49 matthieu 81: <p>
1.102 jmc 82: XFree86 is supported on most systems.
1.49 matthieu 83: Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server
84: at the current time.
1.86 miod 85: It is possible to use X in frame buffer mode with either the SBus
1.65 jason 86: bwtwo, cgthree and cgsix cards, on-board ATI graphics or the UPA Creator,
1.59 fgsch 87: Creator 3D or Elite 3D at the boot resolution/depth using the wsfb(4) driver.
1.53 fgsch 88:

507: OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on

509: as well as network and diskless installs.

511: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
512: <p>
513: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
514: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
515: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the

528: <li>Ultra 2

530: as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
531: However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
532: In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
533: allow installation from cdrom media.
534: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
535: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>

537: The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
538: <pre>
539: boot floppy
540: </pre>
1.125 david 541: <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot35.fs)
1.89 miod 542: <p>
543: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
544: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
545: installed on the machine.
546: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
547: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
548: <pre>
549: boot disk:b
550: </pre>
551: (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
552: partition).
553: <li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
554: <p>
555: Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
556: boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
557: the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
558: Refer to the
559: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>

564: Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
565: Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
566: they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
