Dear Allen:
	First, thank you for responding to my post. I think this is the 
greatest advantage of 'the free unix's' over NT, etc. Could you imagine 
Gates responding to a post on Rec.Comp.windows.*? 
	At any rate, Yes I made sure I had the 32 bit extension & virtual 
memory turned off. The only difference I could tell between my old netbsd 
& new OpenBSD setup is that I went from Sys 7.5.5 to 7.1. I just tried to 
boot it from an external running 7.5.5, and it still locked up. 
	I am using the tar'ed images for the openbsd. Are there some 
other kernels to run? I thought about getting an old netbsd kernel to try 
out, but I'd really like to use the openbsd. It seems a bit more kept up 
to date. I'd appricate any ideas or thoughts.
