1.3       deraadt    24:        must use the floppy install method.  This is not significantly
                     25:        harder..

        !            29: <li>Some rarer PC BIOS's do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
        !            30: as a MBR.  The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
        !            31: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
        !            32: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
        !            33: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
        !            34: non-zero offset.  For instance, start OpenBSD at track 64 or so.

                     39:        multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt.  This is due to
                     40:        a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script.  To fix, enter single
                     41:        user mode and do:

1.5       todd       48: <li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
                     49:        due to X11R6.3's default config file contents.  To fix, su and

1.6       grr        54: <li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
                     55:        "dumb" in response to the terminal type query.  As a work-around
                     56:        first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
                     57:        again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
                     58: <li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
                     59:        may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
                     60:        to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks.  If this occurs
                     61:        create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
