+An OpenBSD/palm installation will use the PalmOS to bootstrap itself.
+Although this has be done manually, upon each reboot.
+
+After the SD card and USB hub have been setup, reset the device, wait
+untill it's finished booting.
+
+Hit the reset button on the device, wait till it reboots, pop in the SD
+card with bootloader and kernel, run 'Cocoboot' and hit the 'Boot'
+button.

+
+There are several things that need to be done in order to install
+OpenBSD/MACHINE .
+
+In case we'll be installing on the SD card driven by PXAMCI, We'll need
+like 8 Mb FAT16 formated partition at the begining of the card, that'll
+be for the bootloader running for PalmOS and will contain also the
+kernel binary. We can create this partition by for example running
+fdisk(8). Once we have the partition ready, we have to create a
+filesystem on it. Achieve that by running:
+
+ $ newfs_msdos <device>
+
+where '<device>' is the new partition we just created. Now mount the
+partition and create directories '/PALM' and '/PALM/Launcher'. Once
+done, copy the bootloader binary called 'cocoboot.prc' into
+'/PALM/Launcher' and the kernel binary with RAMDISK into '/zImage'. The
+'cocoboot.prc' file can be obtained by downloading the file like so:
+
+ $ ftp http://marex.hackndev.com/OpenBSD/cocoboot.prc
+
+This step is needed as cocoboot cannot be distributed with OpenBSD since
+it's licensed under the GPL.
+Of course, you can operate with 'cocoboot.conf' and make the bootloader
+pick a proper kernel name, but that's up to users comfort and beyond the
+scrope of this document. You need to be sure to copy the kernel with
+RAMDISK, otherwise the installer won't be there and you won't be able to
+install, but instead you'll end with kernel debugger shell complaining
+there is no boot device.
+
+Now we need to setup the USB part. Many Palm models don't support USB
+host by default, but it's mainly a software limitation of PalmOS. The
+only problem with USB is that the device doesn't supply the VBUS.
+Therefore you'll need a USB A to A converted and a powered USB hub. Now,
+connect the power supply to the hub, connect the cable that normally
+goes between the PC and the hub into one side of the A to A converter
+and the USB data cable for Palm to the other side of the A to A
+converter. So the port of the USB hub that normally is connected to a
+USB host is now connected to Palm's USB port. Here's a simple
+schematics:
+
+.------.
+| Palm |]-------=[ A to A converter ]=--------------=[ USB hub ]
+'------'
+
+Now that everything's ready, plug the USB cable into Palm if you haven't
+done so yet.
+
+When booting OpenBSD on at least the Tungsten T|5 model, make sure the
+following items are taken care of, or the internal uhub(4) will be
+disabled.
+
+ - Boot OpenBSD directly after resetting the device, before it
+ goes to sleep mode.
+ - Always reset the device before booting OpenBSD.
+ - If the power adapter is plugged into the UART cable, booting
+ may also fail. Best way to work around this is to boot OpenBSD
+ with the power cable removed, and plug the cable back in once
+ OpenBSD has been booted.
+
+Failing to comply with the above items may result not being able to use
+the keyboard, network interfaces, etc.
