OpenBSD/sun3

-

History and Status:

!

The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are completely specific to the Sun3 ! port are basically the same as their NetBSD counterparts but with some ! additions. The major changes are:

!

! Snapshots of the kernel and diskless bootstrap loader are available. ! If you want to use OpenBSD/sun3 get an Amiga (or ! any other m68k OpenBSD) snapshot and the Sun3 GENERIC kernel ! and diskless bootstrap loader then if you don't know how to set up ! a diskless box read the diskless(8) ! manpage. Use the MAKEDEV from src/etc.sun3. ! Once you have booted the Sun3 diskless you should be able to "cd ! /usr/src; make obj; make build" to get a native OpenBSD/Sun3. ! Before doing this kernel instrumentation ("ps", "netstat", etc.) ! will not work. !

The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and from the ``>'' prompt use ``b le()bsd'' to reboot again. It usually works on the second ! try for me. With a local harddisk I have not noticed this behaviour yet.

You can use cvs to get The X Window System. ! I have been told that my patches for OpenBSD/sun3 were integrated in it ! but have not had time to test yet. Additionally, a patch kit for XFree86 ! 3.2 is available in the snapshot directory. ! Look for xfree86-3.2-sun3-patch-kit-1.gz. !

OpenBSD/sun3

!

! The OpenBSD/sun3 port currently runs on all the 68020-based Sun3 computers, except the 3/E ! flavour. +

History and Status:

+

+ The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the sun3 and sun3x + ports were still different entities. The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are + completely specific to the Sun3 port are basically the same as their NetBSD + counterparts. +

+ +

+

Supported Hardware:

+ OpenBSD/sun3 runs on the following Sun-3 models: + Other Sun-3 models are NOT supported, especially 68030-based ones (sun3x). +

!

Supported devices: !

! The sun-2 scsi controller is not supported yet. !
!

! There is no formal OpenBSD/sun3 release yet. ! Full snapshots, including userland, kernel, diskless and ufs bootstrap loaders ! are available. !

!

! The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and from the ``>'' prompt use ``b le()bsd'' to reboot again. It usually works on the second ! try. Alternatively, you can boot single-user ``b le()bsd -s'', and exit ! single-user mode as soon as it appears with control-D. ! This behaviour doesn't appear when running from a local harddisk.

You can use cvs to get The X Window System. ! Kenneth Stailey had written patches for OpenBSD/sun3, which should have been ! intergrated into the mainstream XFree86 sources. However, X has not been tested ! on OpenBSD/sun3 for quite some time. !
