multiuser; setting boot_osflags to 's' explicitly will get us to singleuser as usual; very old SRM versions can only set 'a' or 's', but are still fine because we ignore 'a' now and default to multiuser idea and ok deraadt@, jsg@, testing by many final ok miod@

2003-09-06MD Installation notes updates for 3.4, 1/3Miod Vallat
This mainly includes an hopefully helpful section about i386 upgrades, which I urge knowledgeable people and native english speakers to check out, in order to polish it soon enough.
2003-03-24Tweak a few texts to cope with the fact that we ship official OpenBSD CD-ROMMiod Vallat
and bootable CD-ROM mini images on some platforms, too. Mention such a mini image for alpha, consistent spelling of CD-ROM, and a few minor updates not worth mentioning I had lying in my tree.
2002-10-07Add specific installation steps for DEC 3000 machines, and document a fewMiod Vallat
caveats from their v.1 SRM.

issues are fixed.

system to boot multiuser. Based on feedback from Dan Shechter <danshtr@yahoo.com> on alpha@
2001-10-01Autmun alpha notes cleanup:Miod Vallat
- more details for floppy and floppyB - hardware list updated - get in sync with other arches: more setup text, at the correct location, etc. - remove the list of alpha-related urls, update the ftp.digital.com addresses for the AXPpci notes (no more available from main site, but still on ftp.europe and gatekeeper) and firmware availability - update the description of the bsd.rd procedure to match reality - and fix a few typos in the process.
