Hello All,
I am happy to report an apparently successful install of OpenBSD 3.9 Release on
an HP Kayak XU 6/300 (Intel 440LX chipset, 2x Pentium II).

I have upgraded the kernel but not userland to 3.9-current as of a few
hours ago. I do plan to update userland, I just wanted to check that the
kernel would boot on the machine before I do.

we have been experiencing.
