! 25: <p>
! 26: The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the sun3 and sun3x
! 27: ports were still different entities. The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are
! 28: completely specific to the Sun3 port are basically the same as their NetBSD
! 29: counterparts.

1.7 kstailey 35: <ul>
1.35 ! ericj 36: <li> Sun-3/50
! 37: <li> Sun-3/60, 3/60LE

! 39: <li> Sun-3/110
! 40: <li> Sun-3/260 and 3/280
1.7 kstailey 41: </ul>
1.35 ! ericj 42: Other Sun-3 models are NOT supported, especially 68030-based ones (<a href="sun3x.html">sun3x</a>).
! 43: </p>
1.1 deraadt 44:
1.35 ! ericj 45: <p>Supported devices:
! 46: <ul>
! 47: <li> On-board serial ports
! 48: <li> Sun type 3 keyboard and mouse
! 49: <li> On-board or VME video (bwtwo, cgtwo, cgfour)
! 50: <li> On-board or VME ethernet (intel, lance)
! 51: <li> On-board or VME sun-3 scsi controller, currently with some limitations
! 52: <li> VME xylogics cards are recognized but currently not working
! 53: </ul>
! 54: The sun-2 scsi controller is not supported yet.

! 58: There is no formal OpenBSD/sun3 release yet.

! 64: The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes
1.34 ericj 65: coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and from the ``>''
1.28 todd 66: prompt use ``b le()bsd'' to reboot again. It usually works on the second
1.35 ! ericj 67: try. Alternatively, you can boot single-user ``b le()bsd -s'', and exit
! 68: single-user mode as soon as it appears with control-D.
! 69: This behaviour doesn't appear when running from a local harddisk.

1.35 ! ericj 72: Kenneth Stailey had written patches for OpenBSD/sun3, which should have been
! 73: intergrated into the mainstream XFree86 sources. However, X has not been tested
! 74: on OpenBSD/sun3 for quite some time.
