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-).
