I recently dug out of the closet my old IBM PS/2E, which had served as
my firewall box from 2000ish-06, and was in fact the very first
machine I ever installed OpenBSD on, to see if it still worked
properly. It did (after changing the CMOS battery), but booted into
OpenBSD 4.1... yeah, just a *bit* out of date there. The machine may
not be of great use nowadays (I'd retired it when it couldn't keep up
with my internet connection), but even as a retro-computing
playground, running a 10-year-old/20-releases-ago version of OpenBSD
is of no benefit. Let's rectify that!

Well, that's not good -- I didn't expect 6.1 to run particularly well
on this, but I figured it would at least boot... how about 6.0?

Welcome to the OpenBSD/i386 6.0 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell?

Seems fairly normal. Did I miss something about 6.1 dropping 486
support? [/me checks i386.html... still says 486 or better!]
Turns out that GENERIC can give us a little more useful information
than RAMDISK_CD, as it drops into ddb:

Looks like it's trying to run the CPUID instruction, which this
processor probably doesn't support. Maybe this was an accidental
breakage, rather than intentionally dropping 486es? Time to examine
the CVS logs, I guess. (A -current snapshot also fails in the same
manner, so something happened between 6.0 & 6.1.)
