  1. Nice to see the new version of yaifo drop the same day as the new OpenBSD release. Good work.


  2. Mike, have you had a chance to test booting the yaifo.rd kernel via pxeboot? I’ve tried on my home LAN and it hangs after these boot messages:

    booting tftp:/bsd: 7776980+963184=0x855e8c
    entry point at 0×200120

    The same kernel loads properly on the same hardware when I boot it from flash media acting as a local hard disk.
