Is there anyone working on porting OpenBSD to Intel Apple hardware? Such as the Macbook?
The i386 GENERIC.MP kernel runs fine on Intel Macs. You just need to enable ACPI with "config -ef bsd.mp" (or on the boot prompt).
I can't imagine it would be particularly hard; there'd need to be a way of loading and running a kernel via EFI, and then tweaking the hardware detection.
EFI emulates a normal PC BIOS if there's no Mac OS X on the harddisk. OpenBSD boots fine (though it doesn't feel like booting if no monitor is attached, but you can emulate one easily with a dongle, and automatic restart on power failure needs a little software trick).
And, of course, the best server software is OpenBSD.
That's true! :-) Tas.
