RWR0EANmo9nqhktKtv2CaNBbjF9NkKJJdBLhW0hFdL8yus9REd6O8iiLzM8I6fL0NCx4ZXeflMC7babQmG7qvx8TLxf/YMtsGwA=

OpenBSD 5.6 errata 1, Sep 5, 2014:  Incorrect RX ring computation
leads to panics under load with bge(4), em(4) and ix(4).

Apply patch using:
    
    signify -Vep /etc/signify/openbsd-56-base.pub -x 001_rxr.patch.sig -m - | \
        (cd /usr/src && patch -p0)

Then build and install a new kernel:
