I tried 3.9 on a Sun Fire X2100 with a dual core Opteron 146 a while ago, but OpenBSD only worked every other boot. On some boots, it would just crash and on the next boot it would do a fsck and then crash and one more reboot later, it would come up with a corrupt boot sector. :/ Tonnerre [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
