+1.  KERNEL SUPPORT. Note that kernel support for netatalk appears in
+    OpenBSD 2.2,  or openbsd-current dated after Aug 1, 1997. But the
+    'comment out' character must be removed and the kernel must be
+    recompiled.
+
+    The kernel file that needs to be edited is usually located in:
+    /usr/src/sys/conf
+
+    Remove the first comment (#) from this line:
+    # option          NETATALK        # AppleTalk
+
+    Generally this is the GENERIC kernal. If you decide to rename 
+    the kernel, don't forget to go to 
+    /usr/src/sys/arch/<your arch>/conf/NEWNAME, and change the 
+    ../../../conf/GENERIC line to your NEWNAME. See 
+    http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html for more information on 
+    compiling a new kernel.
+
+2.  STARTING NETATALK. The rc scripts that come with openbsd to
+    start netatalk are specific to an older version of netatalk.
+    So, if you use the initscript provided in a current netatalk's
+    distrib/initscripts directory, you must either add the lines
+    from rc.atalk.bsd by hand into /etc/rc.local (or wherever you
+    want to launch the daemons from) or modify your /etc/rc.local
+    file to read: 
+
+    (currently says)
+
+    # Netatalk stuff
+    if [ -f /etc/netatalk/rc.atalk ]; then
+            . /etc/netatlk/rc.atalk
+    fi
+
+    (change to) 
+
+    # Netatalk stuff
+    if [ -f /etc/rc.atalk ]; then
+            . /etc/rc.atalk
+    fi
+
+    and copy netatalk/distrib/initscripts/rc.atalk.bsd to /etc/rc.atalk.
+
+
+    Don't forget to change the 
+
+    if [ -x :SBINDIR:/atalkd ]; then
+
+    lines to
+
+    if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/atalkd ]; then
+
+    or to whichever locations you configured in netatalk.
