Dear @misc,

I recently picked up an old A1181/Macbook4,1 Early 2008 Core2Duo T8100
"polycarbon" Macbook, [1] to see whether I could run OpenBSD on it.

Apart from the battery being dead and needing to be plugged in it's in
perfect working condition, Snow Leopard boots fine.

However I do not seem to get very far with OpenBSD 7.7 on it. The amd64
installer starts, but it restarts very quickly after the boot prompt:
```
 boot> 
 ...
 booting hd0a:/bsd 4232111+ ...
 
 entry point at 0x1001000
```
-- and then it reboots.

Trying `boot -c` has simply caused it to hang after "entry point".

Are there any known quirks or tricks to get this to boot?

Thanks,

rqm
