                     15: <li>    Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be
                     16:         decided on the basis of technical merit.

                     21:         making upgrading much easier. Also to submit back to the

                     33:         OpenBSD was originally derived from NetBSD, and still tracks the
                     34:         changes & improvements made to NetBSD. If you have the time to
                     35:         assist in such work please get in touch with Niklas Hallqvist

                     39:         with a floppy drive the scsi probe will hang unless there is a disk
                     40:         in the drive, and more seriously multiple scsi targets do not
                     41:         currently work. The current driver was written by Theo de Raadt
