1.5     ! horacio    28: The orginal port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4       art        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.

                     49: There hasn't been a need for a separate mailing list for OpenBSD/sparc64,
