if you want to boot machines based on Apple's IOP technology
(i.e. Quadra 900, 950), make sure that the serial switch option is set to "off" in the Control Panel. This allows OpenBSD to use the serial lines. initial diff from Martin Reindl <mreindl at catai.org> ok jmc@ nick@.

Note that on a Mac68k, the generation of the DSA and RSA keys can take quite
