Does the system hang at "pcons at mainbus0 not configured" for a bit and then display (sluggishly) and then eventually the rest? I've noticed similar problems on Netra AC200/Sun Fire V120, but only with recent OpenBoot/PROM patches. Our V100s don't seem to be affected. Try: 1. Set autoboot to false. 2. pull all USB devices (including keyboard, mouse) 3. pull out extra PCI cards 4. attach a serial console to ttya 5. cold-boot the server by attaching the power cord & key = on 6. at the ok prompt, boot the cdrom manually I've found this to reliably work with our V120s and recent PROM patches. If that works, you are seeing the same problem I see. I'm semi-conviced it's a PROM bug, as other OpenBSD users don't see similar problems with older version of the PROM on AC200s/V120s. Let me know how that goes. I'm interested, as I see similar problems at times. -- adam
