OpenBSD boots and runs on Linksys NSLU2

Hi,

In case anyone is still interested in testing OpenBSD on the Linksys NSLU2
(IXP42x). Source is available at the bottom of the page at
http://lwazi.ca/openbsd/nslu2. The port is not complete - RTC, LED's, reset
and power button not yet supported. I have to login to shutdown. If you
know of another IXP42x port please let me know. I have pasted the dmesg at
the end. One more thing, you have to go hunting for the firmware or remove
NPE support.

Thanks,

Lwazi

Re: OpenBSD boots and runs on Linksys NSLU2

That is pretty cool.

Right before Christmas I dug my Certance CP3100 out of a box to see if
I could get it to run again with a newer O/S.  Unfortunately it still
has serial console issues.

thanks for some activity on the arm <at>  list.

g.day
