<h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>
<p>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:
<p>
<ul>
<li>default data resource limit raised to 16384 Kbytes so that "make build"
does not crash in libc.
<li>/dev/leds derived from
<a href="http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-full-pr?2172">NetBSD pr#2172</a>
by <a href="mailto:mouse@Collatz.McRCIM.McGill.EDU">der Mouse</a>.
</ul>
</p>
<hr><p>
Snapshots of the kernel and diskless bootstrap loader are available.
If you want to use OpenBSD/sun3 <a href="ftp.html">get an Amiga (or
<b>any</b> other m68k OpenBSD) snapshot and the Sun3 GENERIC kernel
and diskless bootstrap loader</a> then if you don't know how to set up
a diskless box read the <a href="diskless-8.html">diskless(8)</a>
manpage. Use the MAKEDEV from <a href="ftp.html">src/etc.sun3</a>.
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.
<B>Before doing this kernel instrumentation ("ps", "netstat", etc.)
will not work.</B>
<p>The diskless configuration is prone to instability. If many processes
coredump during multi-user startup, hit <L1-A> and use ``b le()bsd'' to
reboot again. It ususally works on the second try for me. With a local
harddisk I have not noticed this behaviour yet.
<p>If you suceeded or fail <a href=mailto:kstailey@theos.com>bug me</a>
for help, kudos, or brickbats.
