There's some low-level hardware programming stuff that makes this
being not true.

Also it seems someone got this to work:

Hmm, to me this message seems to mean it does not work.

Maybe I should try with 3.9?

As far as I know, and some other people said on this list, it does not
currently work. I wasted a lot of time trying - I even came until
starting a real install with openbsd , but it always started to
randomly create errors and do strange things.

If you wanna try further, go ahead - I'd be happy to hear is there is
some way, but as far as I understood mats, it will defintely not work
until after 3.0.4.
