All the manuals metioned above You can find on OpenBSD site. > The ones I marked with a dash are those I can't seem to find on the amd64 > compatibility list... so will they not work, and/or what must I do to make > them work after or during the install? For bwi(4) You'll have to download a firmware (consult the manual). This is generally wise to read i386 HCL too as everything applicable to i386 should be true for amd64. Think of amd64 HCL as of extension to i386 one. > Anyway, what's really getting me is that no matter what I do, I can't seem > to figure out how on Earth one determines what exactly will work and what > won't?

So, the first stage is to determine the actual hardware. This is done by inspecting the device manager of Your OS and (the lazy way) seraching the partname with linux keyword appended. The second stage is reading HCLs, Changelogs and (the lazy way again) searching partname with "OpenBSD" keyword added. Personally I've found everything in HCL except for piixpm(4) which I found by looking up SMBus in WikiPedia as I had no idea what it was. There I've noticed it's I2C extension and looked I2C up in HCL. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
