Danger, Will Robinson... I looked at a link you provided later in this thread about the "sawtooth G4" systems, and thought, "hey, that looks familiar, but NOT like my 1+GHz macppc, but more like my 500MHz macppc...then went back and saw your "processor has been upgraded" comment. Keep in mind the Macs are basically closed, secretive hardware, supported by a closed, secretive OS provided by the same vendor...so they can stick workarounds in for odd hardware quirks that no one else knows about (and they do have some odd hardware quirks...like the inaccessible, incomplete gem(4) found on one of my machines...that apparently was replaced by an on-board dc(4)...???) It is entirely possible you are the only person who has a 1.2GHz proc upgrade in their 400-500MHz MacPPC attempting to run OpenBSD. And, it is entirely possible that THAT combination doesn't work for some reason (and I'd bet a US quarter that it is due to a HW bug the OS is expected to work around). Your machine is very similar to one of mine, which works pretty well, so I'm looking at the differences..and that one leaps out at me.
