           <p>
           OpenBSD 3.6-current (as of August 2004) runs.
           Installation is cumbersome, though.
           The Sony CD drive does not boot the snapshot CD.
           <p/>
           <p>
           Installation by USB floppy:
           The floppy36.fs of the snapshot (august 2004)
           can be brought to boot if one disables the
           following (boot -c, wait for the UKC> prompt):
           <pre>
   
           disable pcibios
           disable fxp
           disable pcic
   
           </pre>
           After this there is no USB, no PCMCIA, no Cardbus
           and no network. This means that the laptop has
           no input/output! So you have to put the install sets
           on a partition from some other OS or earlier installations
           of OpenBSD. The install script can mount ffs and msdos
           partitions. The kernel as supplied with the snapshot
           boots alright and recognizes all the relevant hardware
           (no softmodem, no firewire, no memorystick, no JogDial).
           Sound (yds) works. The XFConfig from the OpenBSD install
           works without modification. </p>

           OpenBSD 3.6 works, but there are some minor issues:
           <ul>
           <li>USB and built-in sound (Yamaha) work just fine.
           <li>Firewire works with the experimental kernel support
           <li>My 3com Megahertz Cardbus LAN Card works ok.
           <li>Here are my <a href="http://pestilenz.org/~grunk/openbsd/vario/dmesg">dmesg</a> with -current and my <a href="http://pestilenz.org/~grunk/openbsd/vario/XF86Config">XF86Config</a>.
           <li>Jog Dial and the mini camera were useless to me, so I never
           tested them.
           <li>While the GENERIC Kernel works fine, the installation ramdisk
           kernel hangs on booting since OpenBSD 3.3 or so. Disabling the
           cardslot and PCMCIA subsystem in UKC before booting makes the ramdisk
           come up, too. But then you have to install from images you left on
           the hard disk before (e. g. in a discardable filesystem in the
           partition you want to use for swapping later), because you can't
           access LAN or WLAN without the cardslot.
           <li>Removing cards from the PCMCIA/Cardbus slot on a running
           system may cause system freeze or instant reboot sometimes.
           <li>My D-Link DWL-650 (PrismII) works for some time, but then
           locks up and has to be reinserted to work again. This, however,
           causes the problems mentioned above.
           <li>APM works partly: "<b>halt -p</b>" switches off the machine, but
           sometimes, you can't wake up from "<b>zzz</b>".
           </ul>
