+The powerpc-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.1 release is found in the
+"powerpc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
+out as follows:
+
+.../2.1/powerpc/
+ INSTALL.powerpc Installation notes; this file.
+
+ floppy.fs The powerpc boot and installation
+ floppy; see below.
+
+ *.gz powerpc binary distribution sets;
+ see below.
+
+ bsd A stock GENERIC powerpc kernel which
+ will be installed on your system
+ during the install.
+
+As well you may be interested in
+
+.../2.1/tools/
+ miscellaneous i386 installation utilities like
+ rawwrite.exe, gzip.exe, and pfdisk.exe; see
+ installation section, below.
+
+
+In summary, there is one powerpc floppy image called "floppy.fs". This
+is a bootable install floppy which can be used both to install and to
+upgrade OpenBSD to the current version. It is also useful for maintenance
+and disaster recovery. In addition, the "tools/" directory contains some
+utilities that might be useful for the installation.
+
+Bootable installation/upgrade floppy:
+
+ This disk contains a file system, is bootable, and has
+ enough utilities on board to prepare your hard disk drive
+ for OpenBSD and to install the OpenBSD distribution.
+
+ It also holds the utilities needed in order to upgrade a
+ system to the current version of OpenBSD.
+
+The OpenBSD/powerpc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
+comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 release for the powerpc. There are seven binary
+distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in
+subdirectories of the "powerpc/bins" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1
+distribution tree, and are as follows:
+
+ base21 The OpenBSD/powerpc 2.1 base binary distribution. You
+ MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
+ base OpenBSD utilities that are necessary for the
+ system to run and be minimally functional. It
+ includes shared library support, and excludes
+ everything described below.
+ [ 12.5M gzipped, 35.1M uncompressed ]
+
+ comp21 The OpenBSD/powerpc Compiler tools. All of the tools
+ relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
+ This set includes the system include files
+ (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
+ and the various system libraries (except the shared
+ libraries, which are included as part of the base
+ set). This set also includes the manual pages for all
+ of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
+ call and library manual pages.
+ [ 7.7M gzipped, 24.2M uncompressed ]
+
+ etc21 This distribution set contains the system
+ configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
+ other places. This set MUST be installed if you are
+ installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
+ used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading,
+ it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
+ CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
+ [ 92K gzipped, 450K uncompressed ]
+
+ game21 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
+ [ 2.8M gzipped, 6.7M uncompressed ]
+
+ man21 This set includes all of the manual pages for the
+ binaries and other software contained in the base set.
+ Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
+ that are included in the other sets.
+ [ 2.5M gzipped, 9.6M uncompressed ]
+
+ misc21 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
+ rather large), the typesettable document set, and
+ man pages for other architectures which happen to be
+ installed from the source tree by default.
+ [ 1.7M gzipped, 6.1M uncompressed ]
+
+ text21 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools,
+ including groff, all related programs, and their
+ manual pages.
+ [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
