1.1 deraadt 19:
1.10 kstailey 20: <p>The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are completely specific to the Sun3
21: port are basically the same as their NetBSD counterparts but with some
22: additions. The major changes are:
1.8 kstailey 23:
1.3 fn 24: <p>
1.7 kstailey 25: <ul>
1.9 kstailey 26: <li>default data resource limit raised to 16384 Kbytes so that "make build"
1.7 kstailey 27: does not crash in libc.
28: <li>/dev/leds derived from

36: Snapshots of the kernel and diskless bootstrap loader are available.
1.14 kstailey 37: If you want to use OpenBSD/sun3 <a href="ftp.html">get an Amiga (or
1.11 kstailey 38: <b>any</b> other m68k OpenBSD) snapshot and the Sun3 GENERIC kernel
39: and diskless bootstrap loader</a> then if you don't know how to set up
40: a diskless box read the <a href="diskless-8.html">diskless(8)</a>
1.14 kstailey 41: manpage. Use the MAKEDEV from <a href="ftp.html">src/etc.sun3</a>.
42: Once you have booted the Sun3 diskless you should be able to "cd
43: /usr/src; make obj; make build" to get a native OpenBSD/Sun3.
44: <B>Before doing this kernel instrumentation ("ps", "netstat", etc.)
1.17 kstailey 45: will not work.</B>
46:
47: <p>The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes
1.25 kstailey 48: coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and from the ``<''
49: prompt use ``b le()bsd'' to reboot again. It ususally works on the second
50: try for me. With a local harddisk I have not noticed this behaviour yet.
1.11 kstailey 51:
1.25 kstailey 52: <p>You can use <a href=anoncvs.html>cvs</a> to get The X Window System.
53: I have been told that my patches for OpenBSD/sun3 were integrated in it
54: but have not had time to test yet. Additionally, a patch kit for XFree86
55: 3.2 is available in the <a href="ftp.html"> snapshot directory.</a>
56: Look for xfree86-3.2-sun3-patch-kit-1.gz.
