OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode.
|
|
It also runs on processors made by other manufacturers which have cloned
|
|
the AMD64 extensions.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that <a href="i386.html">OpenBSD/i386</a> also runs on these
|
|
processors, but in 32-bit mode.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
X Window System support is available for most graphics cards, using
|
|
the X.Org server. As with other free operating systems it is highly recommended
|
|
that Nvidia cards are avoided since this vendor continues to show tremendous
|
|
resistance towards releasing information that would allow X.Org to support their
|
|
hardware properly.

<p>
|
|
The only major shortcoming at this time is that the kernel debugger
|
|
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/amd64/ddb.4">ddb</a>
|
|
is somewhat poor.

<h4>Processors</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
All versions of the AMD Athlon 64 processors and their clones are
|
|
supported.
|

|
|
<h3>Unsupported Hardware:</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
New hardware is constantly being released, some of which may lack support.
|
|
Your <a href="donations.html">donation of time, hardware, or documentation</a>
|

can accelerate this support!

<strong>Getting and installing OpenBSD/amd64:</strong>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest supported OpenBSD/amd64 release is
|
|
<a href="73.html">OpenBSD 7.3</a>.
|
|
Here are the
|
|
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.3/amd64/INSTALL.amd64">
|
|
OpenBSD/amd64 installation instructions</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
|
|
<a href="https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64">this location</a>
|
|
as well as on a few
|
|
<a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.
|
|
Here are the
|
|
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/INSTALL.amd64">
|

OpenBSD/amd64 snapshot installation instructions</a> as well.

There are several installation media provided:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>CD image</strong> (install73.iso)
|
|
<br>
|
|
The CD ISO provides an <i>El Torito</i> no-emulation boot image
|
|
that includes almost all OpenBSD drivers.
|
|
This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices and keyboard).<br>
|
|
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
|
|
<a href="https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/RAMDISK_CD?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK_CD</a>
|
|
kernel configuration file.
|
|
<li><strong>Disk image</strong> (miniroot73.img)
|
|
<br>
|
|
The same installer as the CD ISO, but in a form suitable for creating bootable
|
|
hard drives or USB flash drives.
|
|
<li><strong>Floppy A</strong> (floppy73.img)
|
|
<br>
|
|
This 1.44MB floppy image contains the most common drivers.
|
|
It is designed to cover the most typical PC. As a general rule, you will
|
|
find that the missing drivers are ones which need large microcodes to run,
|
|
such as for rare SCSI cards, gigabit ethernet cards, or RAID devices.<br>
