Welcome To The Zaurus Openbsd Forum!, Who's running openBSD on their Z? Options

[obscurite]

Well, maybe this will be a good resource for folks who want to try the new Zaurus support in the OpenBSD 3.7 arm port!

Thanks offroadgeek!

I want to ask if there is really anyone having openBSD on their Z..
if so, can those tell me if it is stable or not?
and it seems that the installation instructions are so complicated

I installed 3.8 beta, and it is stable. No crashes so far. The installation instructions are indeed complicated and inacurate in places, but they make more sense once you installed successfully.

The installation instructions are indeed complicated and inacurate in
places, but they make more sense once you installed successfully.

Can you point out areas/sections that are ambiguous and
inaccurate? I am helping out in editing INSTALL.zaurus[0]. The devs
are *very* much concerned about the documentation as much as the care
about security related bugs.
