OpenBSD/macppc runs on the PowerPC-based Macintosh systems from the

<i>"New World"</i> family, i.e. all Apple computers from the iMac to

the PowerPC G5 DC. It does not run on any <a href="#unsup">unsupported

<h3 id="history"><strong>History:</strong></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The OpenBSD/macppc port started as OpenBSD/powerpc, and was initially
|
|
focused on Motorola computers with Open Firmware, and VI Power4e boards.
|
|
This port was eventually thrown away after OpenBSD 2.5 was released.
|
|
As a result there was no OpenBSD/powerpc port for the 2.6 and 2.7 releases.
|
|
In the meantime, a new port was started, focusing on Apple hardware, and
|
|
based on code from NetBSD/macppc, and after a lot of work from Dale Rahn,
|
|
OpenBSD 2.8 was released with a powerpc port.
|
|
As work on the port continued, it was renamed to OpenBSD/macppc for 3.0.
|
|
Support for the 64-bit G5 (running in 32-bit mode) was added in OpenBSD 3.9.

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently, all the hardware listed in the
|
|
<a href="#hardware">supported hardware</a> section below boots
|
|
multi-user, supports most, if not all, of the on-board devices, and is
|
|
generally usable.
|
|
|
|
<p id="X11">
|
|
The X Window System is supported on all MacPPC systems.
|
|
Most ATI graphics adapters and some NVIDIA graphics adapters are
|
|
supported by <i>accelerated</i> X servers.
|
|
The graphics adapters not supported by an accelerated driver can be
|
|
used by X in frame buffer (unaccelerated) mode, at the boot resolution
|
|
and color depth using the wsfb driver (installed by default).

<li>Older Apple PowerMac systems with a 601 processor or lacking

<strong>Getting and installing OpenBSD/macppc:</strong>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest supported OpenBSD/macppc release is
|
|
<a href="73.html">OpenBSD 7.3</a>.
|
|
Here are the
|
|
<a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.3/macppc/INSTALL.macppc">
|
|
OpenBSD/macppc installation instructions</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in
|
|
<a href="https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/macppc">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/macppc/INSTALL.macppc">
|
|
OpenBSD/macppc snapshot installation instructions</a> as well.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are several installation media provided:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>CD image</strong> (install73.iso)
|
|
<p>
|
|
With the CD inserted in the cdrom drive, powering the machine on
|
|
while leaving the "C" key pressed will bootstrap the installation
|
|
procedure.
|
|
Alternatively, the CD can be booted at the Open Firmware prompt, with
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd>
|
|
boot cd:,ofwboot 7.3/macppc/bsd.rd
|
|
</kbd>
|
|
<li><strong>Mac OS based boot</strong>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the system disk is shared with Mac OS, the <code>ofwboot</code> bootloader
|
|
and the <code>bsd.rd</code> installation media can be copied to the first HFS
|
|
or HFS+ partition.
|
|
Then the installation procedure can be booted at the Open Firmware prompt,
|
|
with
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd>
|
|
boot hd:,ofwboot bsd.rd
|
|
</kbd>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="multiboot">Multiboot/Shared HFS disks:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Having OpenBSD multiboot, or share, a disk with Mac OS X/Mac OS 9
|
|
is possible as long as the disk is first partitioned with the
|
|
Mac OS utility, <i>Drive Setup</i> (Mac OS 9) or <i>System Disk
|
|
Utility</i> (Mac OS X).
|
|
Unallocated space, or a partition not in use, must be left for OpenBSD's use.
|
|
Since OpenBSD is only able to boot from an HFS (not Mac OS X UFS) filesystem,
|
|
the first partition must be formatted as HFS or HFS+, not UFS, to be able to
|
|
boot OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please refer to the installation instructions for more details on how to
|
|
install a shared disk.
|
|
Standalone (no Mac OS present) installation is also supported.
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="root">Boot device considerations:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Modern MacPPC systems have two IDE interfaces (called Ultra and IDE), each of
|
|
which can have two devices on them (ultra0, ultra1, ide0, ide1).
|
|
When multiple drives are present in the system, there are limitations
|
|
of which drives can be configured as the OpenBSD root drive.
|
|
Invalid configurations will not be able to properly
|
|
detect which drive is the root drive, so any attempt will either
|
|
prompt for a root drive or fail.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>ultra0</code> is always a valid root drive.
|
|
<li><code>ultra1</code> is valid as a root disk, as long as <code>ultra0</code>
|
|
is a hard drive, not a non-hard disk ATAPI device.
|
|
<li><code>ide1</code> (Zip drive bay) is valid as a root disk if no hard drive is
|
|
located at <code>ultra1</code>,
|
|
<li><code>ide0</code> (cdrom) is valid as a root drive <strong>only</strong> if no hard
|
|
drives are connected to the Ultra bus.
|
|
</ul>

<h3 id="problems">Known Problems</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Laptop systems may power off within 2-5 minutes if the lid is closed
|
|
while running from battery.
|
|
<li>Older iMacs can have a problem with the USB keyboard driver where
|
|
the first key pressed after boot will repeat endlessly. The workaround
|
|
is to press <SHIFT> first or to disconnect and reconnect the USB mouse
|
|
after the problem has occurred.
