Ahh.  Thanks.  That makes sense.  The installer kept failing, though this time 
I told it to continue anyway.  We’ll see if it works…

So going forward, where is this kind of info available?  I searched the 
openbsd-arm mail list for etc.tgz but found nothing (though if
this is a system wide change, it probably wouldn’t be in arm).  Looking at 
http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html, i now see several references
to etc and moving stuff to base, but no explicit “etc set is gone”.  Do I just 
have to pay more attention to the mail list?
