miod@) has been chronicling some of the more challenging parts of OpenBSD development in his OpenBSD stories collection for a while now.
The latest entry is the full OpenBSD on SGI: a rollercoaster story, which is also available in six parts,
A missed opportunity, 1988-1998
Individual efforts, 200-2004
The blowfish awakens, 2004-2006
Tinkering on big iron, 2007-2008
Hardware galore, 2009
The last challenges, 2010-2021
for those of us who like to take it in as smaller chunks, or all articles as one file.
It's a story some thirty years in the making and telling. Enjoy!

I hope Miod also compiles the list of his efforts chasing down longsoon hardware bugs. I don't remember whether it appeared on a public ml, but it was epic !
