I can confirm successful install and operation on my C360 with the
snapshot of 2019-01-01.  Thanks for fixing that!

I do notice a couple of oddities:

1. Very early in boot, before the kernel copyright message comes out,
I see some worrisome messages:

booting dk6a:/bsd: ...
SPID bits: 0x0, error = -2
pdc_coproc: 0xc0, 0xc0; model 10 rev 1
WARNING: BTLB purge failed
WARNING: cannot block map kernel text
[ using 813416 bytes of bsd ELF symbol table ]
Copyright ...

The dmesg output starts with the "[ using ]" line, so I had to
transcribe these from a screen video.  Things seem to work fine,
so maybe I should disregard these, but if so the all-caps WARNING
is over-enthusiastic.

2. This machine has a soft power button: when you pop it out,
the OS is supposed to do a clean shutdown before letting the
machine power-off.  This works in HPUX, and it seems to work
with the OpenBSD install kernel, but with the regular runtime
kernel the power just drops immediately.  I'd have just said
"oh that's not implemented" had I not seen the install kernel
doing the right thing.
