61: <p>
1.98 ! nick 62: The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
1.4 art 63: the first time in January 1999.
64: The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
65: first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
1.98 ! nick 66: Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
1.6 jcs 67: a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
68: could boot multiuser.
1.1 mickey 69: </p>
70:
1.48 jason 71: <p>
72: OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
73: that release support for many more devices has been added (including
74: devices required for X11R6 support) and bugs exposed by the 64 bit big endian
75: nature of UltraSPARC in many obscure places have been fixed. And
76: work is continuing...

82:
83: <p>
84: Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
1.86 miod 85: supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable.
1.4 art 86: </p>

1.49 matthieu 88: <p>
1.86 miod 89: The X-Window system is supported on most systems.
1.49 matthieu 90: Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server
91: at the current time.
1.86 miod 92: It is possible to use X in frame buffer mode with either the SBus
1.65 jason 93: bwtwo, cgthree and cgsix cards, on-board ATI graphics or the UPA Creator,
1.59 fgsch 94: Creator 3D or Elite 3D at the boot resolution/depth using the wsfb(4) driver.

408:
409: <p>
410: The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is
411: <a href="32.html">OpenBSD 3.2</a>.
412: Here are the
1.93 pb 413: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">

416: </p>
417:
418: <p>
419: Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
420: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64">this location</a>
421: as well as in a few
422: <a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
423: Here are the

1.89 miod 425: OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions
426: </a> as well.
427: </p>
428:
429: <p>
430: There are several installation media provided, so that
431: OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on
1.98 ! nick 432: Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies,
! 433: as well as network and diskless installs.
1.89 miod 434: <ul>
435: <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
436: <p>
437: Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
438: drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
439: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
440: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
441: kernel configuration file.
442: The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
443: <pre>
444: boot cdrom
445: </pre>
446: </p></li>
447: <li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy32.fs)
448: <p>
449: Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel
450: containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware:
451: <ul>
452: <li>Ultra 1/1E
453: <li>Ultra 2
454: </ul>
455: as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
456: However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
457: In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
458: allow installation from cdrom media.
459: For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
460: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>
461: kernel configuration file.
462: The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
463: <pre>
464: boot floppy
465: </pre>
466: </p></li>
467: <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot32.fs)
468: <p>
469: The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
470: and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
471: installed on the machine.
472: After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
473: miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
474: <pre>
475: boot disk:b
476: </pre>
477: (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
478: partition).
479: </p></li>
480: <li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
481: <p>
482: Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
483: boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
484: the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
485: Refer to the
486: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>
487: manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
488: </p></li>
489: </ul>
490: </p>
491:
492: <p>
493: Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
494: Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
495: they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
1.98 ! nick 496: <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">installation
