Gotcha, thanks all. 

I didn't see the reference in the AARM appendix because "or" isn't in
the master index. 

Say, doesn't this code look a bit silly?:

        or    $31, 1, $0   ; 
        stq_c $0, 0($2)     
        beq   $0, 2f        
        bis   $31, $31, $1 ;
        mb                  
        jmp   $31, 4f       
     2: or    $31, 1, $0   ; 
     3: bis   $0, $0, $1   ; So, do we prefer "or" or "bis"? Dunno.

Anyway, I made it this far in getting Postgres to run:

Initializing PostgreSQL Databases - this may take a few minutes...

We are initializing the database system with username pgsql (uid=268).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
