What is the status of the Mac Mini? I saw some messages and patches regarding the mini flowing by a week or three ago but didn't own one at that time so wasn't paying attention. Are the patches in CVS?
Yes, works really fine on my mini. :-) Last time I installed a snapshot (from Nov. 24, 2006) there were basically all files there, though you've to build your own kernel with: $ cat /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.ACPI # $OpenBSD$ # # GENERIC.ACPI - sample ACPI kernel # include "arch/i386/conf/GENERIC" option MULTIPROCESSOR # Multiple processor support #option MPVERBOSE cpu* at mainbus? ioapic* at mainbus? #option ACPIVERBOSE option ACPI_ENABLE acpi0 at mainbus? acpitimer* at acpi? acpihpet* at acpi? acpiac* at acpi? acpibat* at acpi? acpibtn* at acpi? acpicpu* at acpi? acpiec* at acpi? acpitz* at acpi? acpimadt* at acpi? acpiprt* at acpi? One thing is important: Don't configure the network while installing, the Marvell Yucon NIC won't work without an ACPI enabled kernel, afaik due to EFI instead of PC BIOS. You can compile the kernel either on another i386 machine (transfer it on CD) or on the mini itself (transfer the -current source tree from another machine to the mini using a tar archive on CD). An "openssl speed aes-128-cbc" shows nearly twice as good results under OpenBSD than under OS X on the same machine and both cores of the Intel Core Duo work fine. :-) Tas.
