As of today, Dec. 27th, with the latest snapshot bits, I have successfully installed OpenBSD on an HP9000 (819) K200 system. Specifically, I'd like to thank Mark Ketennis who was very patient with my fumbling with the hw and the firmware of the beast, but who stuck by me, and ultimately made and committed the source changes which allowed the K200 to successfully Boot, and moreover, install. I should also mention significant contributions to my effort were made by Eric Schnoebelen, and Alastair Boyanich -- thanks guys. While I've run OpenBSD before, it has typically been on Intel hardware, and the smaller pizzabox (712) hppa platforms. I'm *VERY* pleased that this worked with as few gyrations as it did. Thanks again. Cheers, Rob. PS: Can someone point me to the repository to grab the latest snapshot source code?? I'd like to be able to compile a kernal on this beastie as well, and figure out if SMP is supported 8-). -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-= Robert S.
