"The OpenBSD/sgi port was discontinued after the 6.5 release."
That said, it was a very mature port and ran on many models, in 64-bit mode.
The code remains in -current for now.. the last release, 6.5 is a complete modern (was released in 2019) Unix operating system, which is more than can be said for running IRIX or Linux on these machines. I'm not even _aware_ of any binary distros of Linux for these. And good luck building your own kernel and userland.
- mrpippy 7y agoI missed that when it happened, too bad. OpenBSD's sgi hardware support is much better than NetBSD's (although that I guess the reason is that they used an Origin 350 for builds, but the disk controller driver had a bug causing lockups and FS corruption which never got fixed. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=156941089510768&w=2 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=156941089510768&w=2 I also remember Miod Vallat doing a lot of the work on sgi, but he left the project a few years ago.
