I am trying to install OpenBSD 4.6 on a old Libretto 70CT. The installation was 
finished without error but stuck at rebooting.

Since no PCMCIA-floppy or PCMCIA-CD-ROM on hand, I booted the boot cdimage file 
by Grub4DOS and performed net install. Reboot run into kernel fault. dmesg as 
follows:

Welcome to the OpenBSD/i386 4.6 installation program
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade or (S)hell?_

Seems boot /bsd.rd skipped sound system & LPT, then assign pcic0 to irq 5 which 
was occupied by sound card. Then I tried disabling sound system & LPT, 
additionally softraid0, both in CMOS and boot_config, followed by manually 
assign pcic0 to irq 5. The kernel fault remained unchanged. Also, 
reinstallation did'nt help. I don't know what the problem is and what I could 
do.

>From what I've searched on internet, a similar piece of 70CT run as late as 
>4.0 with half of RAM(16MB) and a different PCMCIA ethernet card. Its dmesg can 
>be found: http://www.crowsons.com/puters/dmesg_fcm.htm, roughly the same as 
>mine. I was wondering whether it was my misconfiguration or simply 4.6 no 
>longer support such a vintage.
