So far:
- i386 and amd64 floppy43.fs boot fine with amd64 as host.
- a full amd64 installation went ok as well using install43.iso,
and works fine with both bsd and bsd.mp (although there are
some errors with bsd.mp).
- ctrl sequences and the pipe key don't work after booting.
capslock does not show in the gui either. the pipe works at the
boot> prompt, tho. ctrl can be obtained pressing capslock.
- ne2k with fbsd ethmod does not work for me. need to test more.
i realise that the last 2 points are probably bugs in bochs.
to avoid the keyboard repeats, the clock's sync parameter should
be set to `realtime'. maybe this should be set in the bochsrc sample
file (or alternatively a README.OpenBSD).
there are other configure options that looks interesting as well, but
they can be added at a later time.
my sparc64 is down at the moment, so i haven't been able to give it a
try yet.
i'd be nice to have more tests, but i'm not sure how useful the
old version in ports is, so maybe it'd be better to just update it.
