OpenBSD/amd64 4.1-stable Build and Changes

I finally got an amd64 machine and built an OpenBSD/amd64 4.1-stable build. I also made some other changes. All builds are now done as machine.openbsd-stable.org. For example, this build shows as being done on amd64.openbsd-stable.org. I am updating all builds to reflect this. So far this has been done for alpha, amd64, i386, macppc, and sparc64. I have yet to update the armish, mac68k, sparc, and zaurus builds. Some are actually in process but are not done yet.

Another major change is that I have a new ftp site for these builds. The site is ftp.openbsd-stable.org. You can once again get the builds from the pub/OpenBSD/4.1-stable directory. Also, I am working with another OpenBSD user and he is producing 4.0-stable builds as well. We will be creating a web site to reflect this soon. The old ftp site, ftp.bsdjournal.net actually points to the same place as the new so either site address will work.

I am also in the process of creating my own official mirror as well. It is already complete for the 4.1 official release and older releases will be available soon. This is available by ftp at mirror.bsdjournal.net. More news will follow on these different projects.
