Redirected from ports@ to [EMAIL PROTECTED] An explanation of what lead you to post it to ports@ would be interesting, second one of those in a couple days, starting to sound like something is unclear somewhere.

You have given us almost nothing to go on. however... I notice you have a DVDRAM there. I've only had one of those, and I pulled it out of the machine it was in because it seemed to be defective. I could be wrong..it may be that only two people have ever tried to install OpenBSD on a machine with a DVDRAM drive into OpenBSD, you and me. Or maybe you and I are the only owners of defective DVDRAM drives. SO, first thing I'd try is to pull the DVDRAM drive out and use a CD or DVD drive, see if that works better. If so, let us know, I'll look into my "defective" DVDRAM drive more. If not, tell us SOMETHING about your computer, or (much) better yet, just put a serial console on it and snag the boot output and let us look. Or type out a lot more of what you see on the screen. Put the digicam down, I'm not looking. Nick.
