I have a Tecra 520CDT laptop. This has one internal hard drive, and I'd like
to expand it by using a USB2 drive. The laptop has a single USB1 port, so
I've

This nearly works fine, but the EHCI part of the card is failing to start.

I have a machine with 48MB of RAM that I want to use as a server.
The OpenBSD kernel is a bit over 5MB. I assume that gets loaded into memory

just the EHCI controller won't start up.
Without USB2 support my box is largely useless due to having a very small

Is there anyone working on porting OpenBSD to Intel Apple hardware? Such as
the Macbook?
I can't imagine it would be particularly hard; there'd need to be a way of
loading and running a kernel via EFI, and then tweaking the hardware
detection.
The reason why I ask is that I've been eyeing the new
