+	OpenBSD/MACHINE can share a disk with MacOS or MacOS X by using
+	an HFS partitioned disk. For proper layout, the disk should be
+	paritioned with MacOS or MacOS X first with unused space or a
+	spare partition where OpenBSD can be installed.  No low disk
+	boundaries exist on MACHINE. MACPPC is unable to install the
+	bootloader into the HFS(+) parition to boot OpenBSD/MACHINE so
+	it is necessary copy 'ofwboot' from the installation media into
+	the first HFS(+) parition using MacOS or MacOS X.
+
+	If the disk is parititioned using MBR, the bootloader is
+	automatically installed. However because fdisk is not LBA
+	knowledgeable it may be necessary to run the 'b' command in
+	disklabel to allow OpenBSD to use the entire disk.
 
 	Note that all OpenBSD partitions in the disk label must have an
 	offset that makes it start within the OpenBSD part of the disk,
