Heh, I think you're the first one to try.  Many thanks for that.  Do
you still have Solaris on the box, I would be very interested to see
the output of the Solaris "prtconf -pv" command.

Heh, that means you got pretty far on a machine that I've never tested
OpenBSD on before.  I'm not quite sure how different the V890 is from
its predecessor (the V880).  The Solaris prtconf -pv output will tell
me that.

I'll get back to you as soon as I've had a chance to decode that nasty
schizo error.
