-MANUALLY
+OpenBSD is installed on the Zaurus by effectively converting
+Linux into a boatloader.  You will need the following files
+from the distribution:
 
+	zbsdmod.o
+	zboot
+	bsd.rd
+
+After starting up some sort of terminal emulator on the Zaurus
+and becoming root, perform the following operation:
+
+	# insmod -f zbsdmod.o
+	# mknod /dev/zboot c 99 0
+	# cp bsd.rd /dev/zboot
+
+A few seconds later, OpenBSD will boot on your Zaurus.
+
+If you already have a bsd.rd or bsd kernel contained in a FFS
+partition on the C3000 hard drive, you can instead use 
+
+	# insmod -f zbsdmod.o
+	# mknod /dev/zboot c 99 0
+	# zboot
