Added Google's newest toolbar tonight IE on my
PIII running windoze 98 with Blogthis in the bar.
Pretty handy, I guess, if you like being stuck on
a windoze system! :-)
OpenBSD and Laptop Problems
Found out, when booting my old Toshiba
4015CDT Satellite laptop running OpenBSD
3.3, if I set ALL DEVICES in the BIOS to
CardBus/16-bit under Controller Mode, &
then run boot -c for User Kernel Config &
disable pcibios0, the warning messages
in dmesg are no longer there. That is:
can't reserve area for I/O APIC
can't reserve area for LOCAL APIC
After booting & becoming root, I made a
backup copy of the kernel, /bsd, & then:
config -e -u -o /bsd.092503 /bsd & the
-u switch processed the boot history &
found where I'd disabled pcibios0. All
I had to do at this point was type quit
& then reboot. New kernel works fine.
