OpenBSD/i386
History and Status:
The i386 port has some architecture specific changes from the
NetBSD/i386 port, but the major ones are:
- the addition of ISA bounce buffer support so that ISA scsi cards (ie.
Adaptec 1542) can be used in machines with more than 16MB of memory.
- The same one GENERIC kernel works on all machines, whether it has
BusLogic or Adaptec scsi cards.
- some APM and PCMCIA support (3c589, NE2000-clone, and COM ports)
- some DDB improvements
- OPTI mcd support
- ATAPI cdrom support
- P5/P6 improved NTP support
- pccons has userland replaceable keymaps, and screen blanking
- boot "-a" support like other ports (asks for root partition)
- floppy formatting
- Cyclades Cyclom serial driver
