I think Strato, 1&1 and co introduced the .255 hack to counter sniffing.
Using .0 netmask works, but won't allow traffic with other hosts in the
same subnet. (Which shouldn't be a problem for most.)
I have not tried any of the new Strato servers, but am experimenting
with one of 1&1's new AMD64 systems.
So far, nothing that i dd to the hd will boot.
(tried 3.9 and current floppy and cd, modified for serial-acc and also
disabling the usual kernel-options like pcibios)
Anyone got one of those systems to run OpenBSD?
For those interested here's the debian-resycue-system dmesg and lspci
output for an 1&1 L64 server. Perhaps someone can see unsupported
hardware i don't.

Any advice'd be much apreciated.
did anybody into the problem of device timeouts for the NIC itself? i
tried to install OpenBSD on three or few machines at strato, none did
the job. i also tried NetBSD, same problem. it seems to be up to a weird
interrupt routing...
