Have you tried with the 3.1 version?

I have now on my home-based ethernet network 2 MacIIci under OpenBSD 3.0
One is the domain name server and the other is a web server. I also
plan to use the first one as a router but I had problems with netatalk 
(I'll develop this in a next post I think).

They are slow but never paniced since I've installed them a few monthes 
ago.

I've tried to install an X server on my second IIci but it tells me "I don't
support color screens" or something like that. I have no special video card
except the built-in 256 color one :(
