add HISTORY; requested by jiri navratil


Revision tags: OPENBSD_6_1_BASE OPENBSD_6_2_BASE
# 1.24 11-Oct-2016 reyk

Remove vic(4)'s BUGS section that I added in 2006 when people were
still terrified about VMs - vic(4) was the first driver for a virtual
interface in OpenBSD. The statement is still true but we all got used
to the obvious fact: "BUGS There are tons of bugs in VMware and the
underlying host operating systems. Please consider that the security
of the OpenBSD guest can be circumvented by attacking the host
environment."

products now that it works and doesn't segfault the VM anymore...

- intial work has been done on ESX server 2.x, we still need to test
it with ESX server 3.x! any volunteers?
