Somehow I must have missed it when I installed ObenBSD/Mac on an abandoned IIcx at work. The installation was by far not as straightforward as I had expected and I didn't see any file explaining in short what the tar-balls contain and where to extract them most efficiently and which ones are mandatory (like for example the etc.tar which I expected to contain additional /etc files and not the basic ones). Maybe I'm a bit spoiled from FreeBSD's sysinstall utility :-) Anyway, for a 16MHz 68030 machine with only 4MB memory it is running astonishingly well even though I'd call it "installed" but not really "configured".
