Mark Kettenis (kettenis@) wrote hppa@ & misc@ about some recent OpenBSD/hppa improvements:
Over the last few weeks I've made some important improvements to the OpenBSD/hppa port. Support for newer B/C/J-class workstations was added, and basically anything but the C8000 should just work. I've also fixed a rather critical bug, which makes machines with a PA-7200 CPU usable again (and makes machines with other CPU's much more stable). And last but not least, support for the NCR 53C720 Fast-Wide SCSI found on many hppa machines has been added to siop(4).
With all these changes, I have reason to believe that most of the so far unsupported D-class and K-class servers should just work, or will work with just a small tweak to the code here and there. Unfortunately I don't have such hardware myself, so if people have access to one of these machines, could they give the latest snapshot a go on them and send me (and dmesg@openbsd.org) a copy of the dmesg?
Thanks,
Mark
So go to your favorite mirror, download and install the latest snapshot and send your dmesg in!

Among these are PA1 K200s, and PA2 K380s.
Is it safe to boot the installer? Does the firmware matter?
