Change the tty00 line on /etc/ttys: tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt220on secure If you continue to get the wd0 errors you may have one of the earlier versions which were not wired to support DMA. Mine is similar. The workaround (thanks to Stuart Henderson): *--* In OpenBSD, you do this with flags to the wd(4) driver. You can edit a kernel which is already built using the -e option to config(8); $ config -e -o newkernel bsd OpenBSD 4.1-current (GENERIC) #126: Mon May 7 12:43:41 MDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC Enter 'help' for information ukc> change wd 42 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 change [n] y channel [-1] ? flags [0] ? 0x0ff0 42 wd* changed 42 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0xff0 ukc> quit If you build your own custom kernel, you can change this in the configuration file. The flags value I show here, 0x0ff0, disables DMA and UltraDMA and uses whichever PIO mode the device claims to support. *--* $ sudo mv newkernel /bsd $ sudo reboot ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

Re: [Soekris] openbsd won't boot from net4801 after pxe installation
Sorry for top post, stuck on outlook right now. Did you change the baud rate to either Soekris or OpenBSD? Soekris defaults to 19.2k and OpenBSD defaults to 9600. During install OpenBSD asks if you want to redirect console to com1, and also Lets you set the speed here. You can change this is /etc/boot.conf Mike From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vincent Li Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 8:41 AM To: soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com Subject: [Soekris] openbsd won't boot from net4801 after pxe installation Hello all, This is my CF info from comBios: Pri Mas SanDisk SDCFB-2048 LBA Xlt 992-64-63 2001 Mbyte --- After I partitionize the CF, I got following message: -- pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x20 wd0: transfer error, downgrading to PIO mode 4 wd0:(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4 wd0a: device timeout writing fsbn 96 of 96-0 (wd0 bn 159; cn 0 tn 2 sn 33), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected) --- Then the installation continues and succeed: Making all device nodes...done... blah,blah...

Hi I would pop out the CF and any other cards. That would at least narrow down the cause of the failure. Swapping the power supply is probably a good idea as well.
