Hi all,
Unfortunately, I still get the reboot after the installation on my alix2d3.
I already installed a Debian image into the flash with success so the flash
seems fine.
I "need" a custom disklabel so maybe it's where it failed.
Let me do a resume of my configuration and all I did.
Thanks for your support,
Cheers,
Aurelien

Available disks are: wd0.
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details) [wd0]
Use DUIDs rather than device names in fstab? [yes] no
MBR has invalid signature; not showing it.
Use (W)hole disk or (E)dit the MBR? [whole] W
Setting OpenBSD MBR partition to whole wd0...done.
....
Use (A)uto layout, (E)dit auto layout, or create (C)ustom layout? [a] C
