OpenBSD/sparc64 runs on the 64bit Sun UltraSPARC machines based
on the UltraSPARC I and UltraSPARC II processors.
<p>
A mailing list dedicated to the OpenBSD/sparc and OpenBSD/sparc64 ports is
available at <u><font color="#23238e">sparc@openbsd.org</font></u>.
To join the OpenBSD/sparc and OpenBSD/sparc64 mailing list, send a message
body of <b>"subscribe sparc"</b> to
<a href="mailto:majordomo@openbsd.org">majordomo@openbsd.org</a>.
Please be sure to check our <a href="mail.html">mailing list policy</a> before
subscribing.
<p>
The current port maintainer is Jason Wright
(<a href="mailto:jason@openbsd.org">jason@openbsd.org</a>), with the help of
mainly Art Grabowski.
Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The original port was made for NetBSD by Eduardo Horvath and released for
the first time in January 1999.
The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both SBus and PCI machines so that
a decently wide range of hardware support was ready even before the system
could boot multiuser.
<p>
OpenBSD 3.0 was the first official release of OpenBSD/sparc64, and since
that release support for many more devices has been added (including
devices required for X11R6 support) and bugs exposed by the 64 bit big endian
nature of UltraSPARC in many obscure places have been fixed. And
work is continuing...
<hr>
<a name="status"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally usable.
<p>
XFree86 is supported on most systems.
Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server
at the current time.
It is possible to use X in frame buffer mode with either the SBus
bwtwo, cgthree and cgsix cards, on-board ATI graphics or the UPA Creator,
Creator 3D or Elite 3D at the boot resolution/depth using the wsfb(4) driver.
<p>
The directions on how to enable the accelerated and unaccelerated X server
are present in the <tt>/usr/X11R6/README</tt> file on the installed system.

<a name="projects"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Projects (in no particular order):
</strong></font></h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Improve the pmap module to reduce the number of expensive cache flushes
<li>Fix BE64 issues in the userland as they are discovered
<li>Improve architecture specific documentation
<li>Provide accelerated X servers for the cgsix and creator frame buffers
</ul>

may require upgrading the flashprom before OpenBSD can be successfully
installed.

<h3><font color="#0000e0">
<strong>Getting and installing OpenBSD/sparc64:</strong>
</font></h3>
<p>
The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is
<a href="35.html">OpenBSD 3.5</a>.
Here are the
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
OpenBSD/sparc64 3.5 installation instructions
</a>.
<p>
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64">this location</a>
as well as in a few
<a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
Here are the
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">
OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions
</a> as well.
<p>
There are several installation media provided, so that
OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on
Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies,
as well as network and diskless installs.
<ul>
<li><strong>CD boot</strong>
<p>
Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing
drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.<br>
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>
kernel configuration file.
The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
<pre>
boot cdrom
</pre>
<li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy35.fs)
<p>
Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel
containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware:
<ul>
<li>Ultra 1/1E
<li>Ultra 2
</ul>
as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines.
However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers.
In particular, this floppy <i>lacks cdrom support</i> and will <i>not</i>
allow installation from cdrom media.
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/RAMDISKU1?rev=HEAD">RAMDISKU1</a>
kernel configuration file.
The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with
<pre>
boot floppy
</pre>
<li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot35.fs)
<p>
The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,
and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system
installed on the machine.
After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the
miniroot can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as
<pre>
boot disk:b
</pre>
(the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap
partition).
<li><strong>Network boot</strong> (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd)
<p>
Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64
boot loader, <tt>ofwboot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access
the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.
Refer to the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>
manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
</ul>
<p>
Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also,
Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if
they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64">installation
notes</a> for details.
