OpenBSD 6.8 was the first official release of OpenBSD/powerpc64.

And since there are always little bits missing, work is continuing...

<p>
|
|
Currently OpenBSD/powerpc64 supports POWER9 processors and runs stably
|
|
on PowerNV machines based on the Raptor Computing Systems Talos II and
|
|
Blackbird boards. Support for POWER8 processors is included but
|
|
untested.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
OpenBSD/powerpc64 does not run under a hypervisor such as PowerVM or
|
|
PowerKVM.

There are several types of installation media provided, so that
|
|
OpenBSD/powerpc64 can be installed or upgraded via miniroot images as
|
|
well as network installs.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot73.img)
|
|
<p>
|
|
The miniroot provides an easy installation environment.
|
|
Just dump the miniroot to a USB flash drive with dd and insert it
|
|
into a USB slot of the machine.
|
|
After powering on the machine, an OpenBSD install option should
|
|
appear in the petitboot bootloader menu.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><strong>Network boot</strong> (bsd.rd)
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/powerpc64
|
|
install environment directly from an HTTP or TFTP server.
