Hi there,
We are beginning to do some tests with Compact Flash IDE adapters and
OpenBSD 3.8.
We installed the OpenBSD 3.8 using a SanDisk 1.0GB CompactFlash on a
Pentium 4 (dmesg at the end of this message). The installation finished
flawlessly. But when booting, it seems to take ages to boot. The last
time we checked, it took about 55 minutes for it to finish booting. Once
it has booted, all the speed issues seem to disappear.
We went through the BIOS to find anything related to PIO or DMA, but
found nothing suitable.
We tried the very same card with a VIA Chipset and it worked like a
charm, we couldn't tell the difference from booting from a normal HD.
Any input on this will be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,
Martmn.
I attach the dmesg of the machine that seems to be having problems when
booting:
