Dear @misc, I recently picked up an old A1181/Macbook4,1 Early 2008 Core2Duo T8100 "polycarbon" Macbook, [1] to see whether I could run OpenBSD on it. Apart from the battery being dead and needing to be plugged in it's in perfect working condition, Snow Leopard boots fine. However I do not seem

Hello Lundqvist, This is fixable! It will need some kernel patching but it is fixable. Inconvenience is that on starting the installer and then on the first boot you will need to wait AGES until it gets through the "sd0" bit. Then you will need to apply some kernel patches and re-compile and inst

Dear Robert, I had a similar issue with the 2015 Macbook Pro and there's a workaround: you need to wait A LOT, like 2+ hours for it to get through the "being stuck at sd0" phase, then install, wait out the similarly long first boot, and then recompile the kernel with a patched acpi.c. Patch is ava

Hello Jan, Thanks for the reply. There's a specific bug with the 2015 Macbook Pro that causes a massive ACPI timeout on boot. It was referenced in the previous message of mine. (see here: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=174616908402765&w=2) There is a patch, but I am trying to figure out ho

Hi! Just for clarity -- is this the A1278? Bluetooth: it won't work. OpenBSD simply does not have any Bluetooth support since 5.5. WiFi - this is very often an issue with Apple hardware. Some cards are supported by the `bwfm` firmware, and if your model uses a PCIe connector then you can usuall
