There are at least two build machines for each supported arch, one for
src and the other for ports. If you want to see a new arch supported,
then you donate at least two machines to Theo's basement, plus donate
whatever additional machines are needed for interested developers.

Machines are always needed:

Considering the massive volume of work the machines do and the
cost/value of developer time, they should be as fast as feasible.

Just spotted a tiny wee picture on the bottom of the home page that I 
hadn't seen before. It appears to be someones server rack from 2009 !

I see a Mac server (ppc ?) in the photo. We tried to install OBSD onto 
one a while ago but I couldn't figure out how to get the thing to boot 
of a CD. I think there's some key combo that you need to push at boot 
time to get it boot from CD but none of them worked for me (Both PC and 
Mac Keyboard) does anyone know the exact procedure so that I can bring 
new life into this server thats just gathering dust justnow.
