	i usually use NetBSD/i386 and OpenBSD/i386, therefore it was almost
	my first experience to run *BSD/macppc too.  so my words may not be
	a correct answer...

	didn't check that.  i should have saved dmesg output.

>2.  Are dual booting with OS X?

	should work, but i did not choose the option.
	i had two choices on installer - one is to share disk with OS X HFS+
	partition, another is to basically use the whole disk for OpenBSD.
	i picked the latter yesterday.

	OpenBSD 3.1 ships with XFree86 4.2.0, as http://www.openbsd.org/31.html
	says.

>4.  What version of OpenBSD did you install?

	OpenBSD 3.1.  installation from CD-ROM was totally smooth and wonderful.

	no trouble, modulo:
	- the console wedge after X11 (as mentioned in the previous posting).
	- no way to swap control and caps.  "us.swapctrlcaps" mapping for wskbd
	  did not exist - are there any reason why?  i digged the source and
	  found no keymap definition.  maybe i should define one.
	- most of special keys (volume control, CD eject) does not seem to work

	(i could be wrong, i did not dig those issues further)
