Link to the old versio nnow that cvsweb is back up (it was down when I posted earlier): http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/www/faq/faq4.html?rev=1.421&content-type=text/html#getdmesg More likely you would have a USB stick than a floppy; in that case replace /dev/fd0a from the page above with /dev/sdXi (replace X with the number from the device name that shows up on-screen when you insert the stick).
