OpenBSD/pmax 2.3 does *not* (yet) run on these machines:
	- Mips Magnum
	- Olivetti systems.
	- SNI RMxxx machines.
	- NEC Risc.

The minimal configuration requires 8M of RAM and ~60M of disk space.
To install the entire system requires ~150M of disk space, and to run
X or compile the system, 32Mb of RAM and ~1G of disk is recommended.

Supported devices include:
	graphics:
		built-in S3 VGA graphics adapter on PICA.

		Note that X11R6 currently supports only S3 boards.

	keyboard:
		Standard PC compatible keyboard with optionally
		driver softloaded keymaps.

	mouse:
		PS2 mouse on PICA
		Serial mouse on /dev/tty00 on rPC44 and Tyne.

		ISA tty00 and tty01 on systems without serial ports on
		the motherboard (Tyne).
		ISA tty02 and tty03 on all ISA capable systems.

	parallel ports:
		parallel ports is supported on-board (PICA) or on ISA
		(rPC44 and Tyne).

	floppy:
		floppy is supported on PICA only.

	ethernet:
