+OpenBSD/MACHINE is now capable of booting either from a dedicated
+disk using a MBR partitioned disk or sharing a disk with MacOS.
+
+If the disk is to be shared between MacOS and OpenBSD, it is necessary
+to reformat and install the MacOS partitions first, using "Drive Setup",
+leaving space on the disk as an "Unused" partition.
+If the disk was previously partitioned, it is possible to reuse a Pariti on
+for OpenBSD, as long as it is not the first Pariti on on the disk.
+The bootloader is expected to be found in that first (HFS) Pariti on.
+
+For dedicated disks, MACHINE port boots off a boot program in
+an MSDOS filesystem. This is now set up by the install program
+and no special setup is required.
