OpenStep is an API developed by NeXT and Sun Microsystems. The name was also used (though as "OPENSTEP") for the NeXTSTEP operating system starting at version 4.0. The OpenStep API was available for Windows NT and the "OPENSTEP for Mach" operating system was available on Intel x86, Sun SPARC and the NeXT 68K.

Shutdown/restart option on login window[edit]

Troubleshooting[edit]

68K 4.2 Boot Graphic disappeared[edit]

It's a bug in 4.2 (affects both m68k and i386).  Either remove the  
"Language" preference from the root account,

# Do this as root
> dremove System Language

Of course, the Language preference gets reset everytime root logs in.

Alternatively, boot in verbose mode, to see boot progress.
