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:

547:
548: <p>
549: The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is
1.125 david 550: <a href="35.html">OpenBSD 3.5</a>.
1.89 miod 551: Here are the
1.125 david 552: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
553: OpenBSD/sparc64 3.5 installation instructions
1.89 miod 554: </a>.
555:
556: <p>
557: Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
558: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64">this location</a>
559: as well as in a few
560: <a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
561: Here are the
1.93 pb 562: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
1.89 miod 563: OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions
564: </a> as well.
565:
566: <p>
567: There are several installation media provided, so that
568: OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on
1.98 nick 569: Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies,
570: as well as network and diskless installs.
1.89 miod 571: <ul>
572: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
573: <p>
574: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
575: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
576: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
577: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
578: kernel configuration file.
579: The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
580: <pre>
581: boot cdrom
582: </pre>
1.125 david 583: <li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy35.fs)
1.89 miod 584: <p>
585: Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel
586: containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware:
587: <ul>
588: <li>Ultra 1/1E
589: <li>Ultra 2
590: </ul>
591: as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
592: However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
593: In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
594: allow installation from cdrom media.
595: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
596: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>
597: kernel configuration file.
598: The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
599: <pre>
600: boot floppy
601: </pre>
1.125 david 602: <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot35.fs)
1.89 miod 603: <p>
604: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
605: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
606: installed on the machine.
607: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
608: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
609: <pre>
610: boot disk:b
611: </pre>
612: (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
613: partition).
614: <li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
615: <p>
616: Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
617: boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
618: the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
619: Refer to the
620: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>
621: manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
622: </ul>
623:
624: <p>
625: Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
626: Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
627: they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
1.125 david 628: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">installation
1.98 nick 629: notes</a> for details.
