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.

40: <p>
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.

50: instead the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list is used.
