OpenBSD/sun3 used to run on the Motorola 68020-based Sun3 computers, except
|
|
for the 3/E flavour and the 3/50.

<h3 id="history"><strong>History:</strong></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the
|
|
sun3 and sun3x ports were still different entities. Noone showed much
|
|
interest in OpenBSD/sun3 for a while, although the code was mostly kept in
|
|
sync with NetBSD.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Eventually, Kenneth Stailey started working on the port, but since he was
|
|
living in the USA, he could not export a release he would have built, so he
|
|
lost interest working on this port.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Early 2000, Miod Vallat attempted to bring the port back in shape, making
|
|
the code compile again, and devising completely new installation media. The
|
|
port even shipped with complete X Window System client and utilities, although
|
|
there was no working X server.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The port lived for a few releases, but unfortunately hardware problems and
|
|
lack of time conspired to prevent catching up with NetBSD on code, and the
|
|
sun3 code was not ready for the switch from the old Mach virtual memory
|
|
system to
|
|
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-3.0/uvm.9">uvm</a>,
|
|
and missed the 3.0 release, hoping that the code would be fixed in time
|
|
for the 3.1 release. Unfortunately, this was not the case, and eventually
|
|
it was decided to remove the code from the tree.
