My Laptop Thinkpad X61 (the one where halt -p doesnt work) , can only be installed via USB CDROM. It worked fine, just selected to boot off of USB Devices in the BIOS, and that was it.

DHCPD server setup:
CentOS 5.2
dhcpd configured to point to file 'pxeboot'
tftpd with server root at /tftpdroot and all files (pxeboot, bsd,
bsd.rd etc) placed in here

When I try booting the machine that I want OpenBSD on, it loads the
pxeboot file (I see this in the logs) but it keeps timing out looking
for the kernel file bsd (there aren't any log messages that tell me
anything here). It's my understanding that all the files needed to
boot using PXE should be placed in the root of the tftp server.

    Create a file etc/boot.conf in your TFTP root directory, with the
contents

        boot tftp:/bsd.rd

    If that still doesn't help, enable logging to see what the TFTP
server is trying to do and where it's looking the files, and move bsd.rd
accordingly.
