Interesting. I booted to do the install with miniroot58.fs written to a
USB flash drive. I then added an additional partition to the same USB
flash drive and put all my sets in there (long story short). Normally I
have been unable to get to the install prompt successfully with
traditional non-(U)EFI boot media. The install has always frozen with
various problems. This time, after booting from EFI, everything went
just fine. Now, if I disabled inteldrm(4) and switched back to efifb(4)
and used wsfb(4) in X, I could have a mostly working install. I’m hoping
changes come through on inteldrm(4) attachment to fix this display
corruption and this system might be an excellent OpenBSD option (with a
USB urtwn(4) or other for wireless).
