We are using the word +OpenBSD because we don't change any source code other then the scripts that +are buildning the ram disk kernel and some basic defaults configurations. The +kernel and the userland is untouched but stripped to the minimum to make +Flashboots fotprint as smal as possible. + +Don't turn to OpenBSD mailing list for support since this project is +unofficial. Please submit bug reports via the mailing list flashboot@mindrot.org or via +the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/openbsd/flashboot/issues). # Introduction
