    Hints and fixes for OpenBSD/pmax 2.1 release:

    - -

    At this place i plan to collect all hints for the installation of the -2.1 release and fixes for problems while doing it to. There is one -little problem with the X11R6 clients of the OpenBSD/pmax 2.1 -distribution which is described in detail on the errata page. Also i want to note that there are -some problems with the serial ports in some situations and also with -some framebuffers which are partially fixed in the current tree -(mostly fixes merged in from NetBSD/pmax). Send me (graichen@OpenBSD.org) a mail if -you have problems and want a newer kernel for testing.
