OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on the following classes of machines:
	- SBUS based workstations:
		Ultra 1
		Ultra 1/Creator (should work, but has not been tested)
		Ultra 2 (should work, but could not be tested)
	- PCI based workstations:
		Blade 100 (onboard ethernet has issues)
		Enterprise 250
		Ultra 5
		Ultra 10
		Ultra 30
		SPARCengineAX
	- faithful clones of the above Sun systems.

If your machine is not listed above, it is very likely that OpenBSD/MACHINE
does not work on it (yet).

The minimal configuration requires 32M of RAM and ~160M of disk space.
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.

At the moment, the X window system is not available.

Supported devices {:-include-:}:
	serial ports: 
		Zilog ttya and ttyb (can be used as console if needed),

	ethernet: 
		on-board AMD Lance ethernet ("le0")
		SBus AMD Lance ethernet cards
		PCI/SBus SunSwift and Quad FastEthernet cards (hme, qfe)
		SBus FastEthernet cards (qec+be)
		SBus QuadEthernet cards (qec+qe)

	SCSI: 
		on-board "esp" SCSI controller
		SBus "esp" SCSI controller (including 3rd party compatibles)

	framebuffers:
		on-board framebuffers,
		(but the kernel will use the OpenPROM console still).


Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions about:
	Multiprocessor machines
	Audio drivers
	Floppy driver
	FFB (Creator), PGX and AFB (Elite 3D) framebuffers
        SBus ZX framebuffer (aka Leo)
	other PCI and SBus cards have not been tested yet.
