  OpenBSD/vax began in early 2000 when architecture specific code was adapted
! from NetBSD's very mature port to these systems, and smaller imports still
! occur as useful changes happen in that OS. However, we are by no means wholly
! derivative; most of the changes below have in fact been backported to NetBSD.
! The result of all this work is an OS environment that is comfortable and
! familiar to any OpenBSD user.

  <b>Significant changes between 2.8 and 2.9:</b>

  OpenBSD runs on a wide variety of VAX hardware, but our
  <a href="want.html#vax">inventory of systems</a>
! is limited. We may actually run on your hardware even if it's not listed
! here.  We rely on your feedback to know what is supported, and what
! needs work. After you finish installing and road testing your new system,
! consider running "dmesg |mail dmesg@openbsd.org" to help us determine
! what types of hardware people are using. The machines listed on this page
! are known to be working as of the most recent release.
