1.4 ! art 28: The orginial port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
! 29: the first time in January 1999.
! 30: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
! 31: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
! 32: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both sbus and PCI machines so that
! 33: a decently wide hardware support was ready even before the system could boot
! 34: multiuser.

! 41: Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
! 42: supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable. No attempts
! 43: have been made for graphics console support yet so only serial or prom consoles
! 44: are available. The same applies to support of more expansion hardware for
! 45: the PCI bus or the SBUS.
