System : OpenBSD 2.8
Architecture: OpenBSD.ppc
Machine : ppc
>Description:
CD instructions give the wrong command for openfirmware boot
Says "boot cd:,ofwboot /2.8/spar/bsd.rd"
Should be "boot cd:,ofwboot /2.8/powerpc/bsd.rd"
>How-To-Repeat:
get a 2.8 cd release set and read the ppc instructions, they
don't make any sense
>Fix:
perhaps just a note on the website for anyone too clueless to mount
the CD and see where bsd.rd really is for ppc
