OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on ISA (AT-Bus), EISA, PCI, and VL-bus systems
with 386-family processors, with or without math coprocessors. It
does NOT support MCA systems, such as some IBM PS/2 systems. The
-minimal configuration is said to require 4M of RAM and 50M of disk space,
-though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today.
-To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run X
-or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (4M of RAM will
-actually allow you to run X and/or compile, but it won't be speedy.
-Note that until you have around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more
-important than getting a faster CPU.)
