+to lock your machine up using a 4-line program.  The problem only affects
+Intel P5 processors (the i386, i486, P-Pro, and P-II are not vulnerable,
+nor are processors by other manufacturers).

+<li>A few people are running into this problem, particularily if they had some
+other *BSD operating system on their machine before trying OpenBSD: if after
+installation onto an IDE-based machine, the kernel fails to mount the root
+partition because it thinks that it should be opening sd0 (0x400), this means
+you have incorrectly setup your disklabel for the IDE drive -- the disklabel
+is indicating that the drive is SCSI.
+To repair this, use the floppy to run "disklabel -E wd0", then using the
+"edit" command ensure the type field is set to "ST506".
