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:

571:
572: <p>
573: The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is
1.125 david 574: <a href="35.html">OpenBSD 3.5</a>.
1.89 miod 575: Here are the
1.125 david 576: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
577: OpenBSD/sparc64 3.5 installation instructions
1.89 miod 578: </a>.
579:
580: <p>
581: Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
582: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64">this location</a>
583: as well as in a few
584: <a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
585: Here are the

1.89 miod 587: OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions
588: </a> as well.
589:
590: <p>
591: There are several installation media provided, so that
592: OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on
1.98 nick 593: Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies,
594: as well as network and diskless installs.
1.89 miod 595: <ul>
596: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
597: <p>
598: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
599: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
600: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
601: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
602: kernel configuration file.
603: The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
604: <pre>
605: boot cdrom
606: </pre>
1.125 david 607: <li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy35.fs)
1.89 miod 608: <p>
609: Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel
610: containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware:
611: <ul>
612: <li>Ultra 1/1E
613: <li>Ultra 2
614: </ul>
1.137 deraadt 615: <p>
1.89 miod 616: as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
617: However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
618: In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
619: allow installation from cdrom media.
620: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
621: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>
622: kernel configuration file.
623: The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
624: <pre>
625: boot floppy
626: </pre>
1.137 deraadt 627: <p>
1.125 david 628: <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot35.fs)
1.89 miod 629: <p>
630: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
631: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
632: installed on the machine.
633: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
634: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
635: <pre>
636: boot disk:b
637: </pre>
638: (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
639: partition).
1.137 deraadt 640: <p>
1.89 miod 641: <li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
642: <p>
643: Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
644: boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
645: the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
646: Refer to the
647: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>
648: manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
649: </ul>
650:
651: <p>
652: Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
653: Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
654: they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
1.125 david 655: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">installation
