OpenBSD/vax began in early 2000 when architecture specific code was adapted from NetBSD's very mature port to these systems. 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.
Significant changes contained in the post release snapshot:
OpenBSD runs on a wide variety of VAX hardware, but our inventory of systems is limited. 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" as this helps us to confirm what types of hardware people are using. The machines listed on this page are known to be working as of the most recent snapshot.
