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
1.6 jcs 33: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
34: could boot 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
1.6 jcs 43: have been made for graphics console support yet, so only serial or prom
44: consoles are available. The same applies to support of more expansion hardware
45: for the PCI bus or the SBUS.

1.6 jcs 49: There hasn't yet been a need for a separate mailing list for OpenBSD/sparc64,
50: so the OpenBSD/sparc mailing list is being used. To join the OpenBSD/sparc
51: mailing list, send a message with a body of "<b>subscribe sparc</b>" to <a
