-OpenBSD/amd64 is an effort to port OpenBSD to AMD64-based systems.
+OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode.
+Note that OpenBSD/i386 also runs on these processors, but in 32-bit mode.

+It can be expected to install and run with minimal difficulty on most current
+hardware.
+<p>
+
+A few problems exist with the bootblocks, kvm libraries, and some floating
+point operations.  Obviously this is fairly new, so it will take time to
+find other issues and fix them.

+There are several installation media provided:
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>CD boot</strong>
+  <p>
+  Booting off the CD provides an <i>El Torito</i> 2.88MB floppy image
+  that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers.
+  This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices and keyboard).<br>
+  For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
+  <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/RAMDISK_CD?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK_CD</a>
+  kernel configuration file.
+  </p></li>
+  <li><strong>Floppy A</strong> (floppy34.fs)
+  <p>
+  This 1.44MB floppy image contains the most common drivers.
+  It is designed to cover the most typical PC. As a general rule, you will
+  find that the missing drivers are ones which need large microcodes to run,
+  such as for rare scsi cards, gigabit ethernet cards, or RAID devices.<br>
