Want to port it :-) ? There've been several attempts, from what I read on this list, but they've all somehow got quieter and quieter over time, more's the pity. btw: I believe all this is in the archives ...

Go to ftp.openbsd.org, download the install floppy, rawrite it to a disk (or use dd, whatever), and then boot it, and do a FTP install. Its the easiest and best way to go. The OpenBSD install isn't the best (its nothing like FreeBSD install, or the Linux Installs), but you should be able to do it. NetBSD/sparc is alot harder to install btw, its alot less forgiving, and there is no way to go back except totally restart, and you also have to make the partitions manually using cylinder numbers.... (ick!) Actually, you have to do that with OBSD too, come to think of it. But good luck! Its a good system (smilair to FBSD in many ways) once its successfully installed, and you can get X and all working on it too. martin. -- diskiller@diskiller.net | www.diskiller.net | irc.diskiller.net | Downtown Mars!

No you don't. You can specify MB's and it will round them to cylinder boundaries. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
