Heh, floppies.  I hardly ever use them on PCs, and, although some of my
SPARCs have 'em, I don't recall _ever_ using 'em.  I expect the "SPARC bad
floppy drive" syndrome is from lack of use.  I even got a "SCSI" floppy
drive with one of my SGIs, and who cares?

However, this brings up a thought ... how about an OpenBSD ftp-install boot
_CD_?  I know SFA about making bootable CD-ROMs, but it seems that it ought
to be possible.  Would it be possible to have one that worked on multiple
platforms?
