I don't have any idea about how/where to start. Maybe Theo can put some
light here...I think my developer skills are far to be good enough but,
hey...I would like to try !!
getting openbsd working on an iphone would be a pretty serious
undertaking and would require a lot of man hours that aren't currently
available. you have to remember that the project is mostly driven by
donated developer time.
if you have >100K USD and are committed you might be able to make it
happen. there would have to be a lot of reverse engineering on drivers
and there is no reason to expect apple wouldn't change the chipsets
across versions to make minute optimizations on cost. assuming you could
get all this code written there are many man hours that go into keeping
the arch working properly on an ongoing basis.
there is no doubt this would be sweet but you have to be realistic when
considering the amount of work it would take to make this happen. there
are >10 mln iphones in circulation so there is no shortage of machines
Regards,
Alvaro

I was thinking it would be cool to have an Iphone running OpenBSD...
Imagine that: the most secure phone in the planet :-P
Man, I have an old 1st gen iPhone just sitting there... I would so put
OpenBSD on it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to begin :(
