I have the same problem. My 4 year old i386 test box doesn't see it as
bootable (4.[01] CDs work fine). The CD seems ok - no problem pulling
kernels, sets, and packages off it. It boots on my newer machines, and
even on an ancient (ca. 1999) NetVista. I haven't had any other issues
with the drive itself.
dmesg after manual upgrade on the no-boot box:

I think maybe sed, not awk. Try:
xterm -e "telnet `echo ${1##telnet://}|sed -e 's/:/ /'`"
(which assumes $1 is properly formed).

Your question has already been answered, but in case you are looking for documentation, here's Dennis Ritchie (as in K&R C)in the 1978 (July-August) Bell System Technical Journal, pp. 1953-4: "It is common for the totality of user files to be too voluminous for a given device. It is then impossible for the directories of all users to be members of the same directory, say /usr. Instead they must be split into groups, say /usr1 and /usr2;" And Steve Bourne (as in Bourne shell), same issue, p. 1981, referring to user "fred" setting the $PATH environment variable: PATH=:/usr/fred/bin:/bin:/usr/bin Finally, looking at our old 1984 SVR2 source distribution, it is evident that the Bell Labs guys preferred abbreviations to acronyms. The distributed root filesystem consisted of: bck bin etc dev lib stand tmp The /usr filesystem contained (in cpio format!): adm bin catman games include lib lost+found mail news preserve pub spool tmp Not until the top level of the source tape do we hit an acronym: cmd games head lib stand uts where uts="Unix Time-sharing System", which I guess is hard to abbreviate;) Yes, I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I think it's fascinating, like, "Why'd they call it 'awk'?" Now there's an acronym for you. Today, hier(7) rules. -- Barry

There *is* one case in which users are specifically directed to this machine: The donors list was removed from the CD liner notes after 3.6. From 3.7, up to and including 4.7, the liner notes have referred to http://openbsd.org/donations.html#people although in view of this thread, that's probably an oversight. Or a sign that donors are invited to visit Theo's basement. I'm guessing it's the former. -- Barry
