Re[1]: Kernel Panic on ppc install

"Silence is getting used to hearing crickets."

Gentlemen.

If this email is being sent to an inappropriate list on OPENBSD.ORG,
Please let me know.

However, I am least impressed with the fact I cannot begin debugging the 
following issue without knowing here to go next.

I have examined all pertinent documentation on OpenBSD.org, and I am unable 
to proceed.

So now I have 1 ~$32.00 CAD teacup coaster and lid.

For all it is worth to me, the 2.9 distrib currently can only collect dust, 
because the OFWBOOT documentation and Kernel booting information is lacking, 
as far as I can find info. (Kernel Switches are what I am wondering about, 
Not Forth.)

If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.

Thank you.
