Usage question
Is anyone successfully using OpenBSD and mplayer or vlc with mediasite to catch streaming lectures from a university campus or similar? I had to get a Vista box, and I'm at wits' end with its B$. Any help or pointers to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite dual core box to OpenBSD 4.1 and maintain my ability to continue in medical school is appreciated.

Re: PCMCIA USB 2.0
No. I couldn't keep the machine up enough to get any change in the dmesg on it and decided that it was my fault for picking up a random piece-of-crap bit of hardware at Beelzebub Buy. If there is interest, I could fire up ye olde beast and attempt it. But, my hacking skills and OpenBSD usage is low, so I don't know if my bug report would be in a helpful format.

Erm, that's not true. I picked up one at Beelzebub Buy and it crashes my openBSD 3.8 machine.

Feh, just have a read-only / with a read/write /home. Then just tell Dad to pull the plug when he's finished. FWIW he, and you, will probably go back to windows right quick with that solution.

OpenBSD 3.8 and Panasonic Toughbook CF-72
Hello, I got my 3.8 set in the mail yesterday, and went to my new laptop to install it, but... The installer hangs right after detecting fdc0. Complete lock, I can't even get caps-lock to light itself. I tried boot -c and disabling fdc0, then the installer hung after pccom0. What is the installer detecting post fdc0 that I can disable to allow it to boot and install (and then I can post a dmesg!)

Re: OpenBSD 3.8 and Panasonic Toughbook CF-72
Roger, thanks for the tip, enabling verbose helped me fix it. However, now my wireless card (Cisco Aironet 350) is telling me it's unconfigured... so still no dmesg as I have no network here. Do I just need to compile GENERIC with Aironet in it?

Perhaps booting with a verbose output provides you with more information on the culprit. boot -c UKC verbose Also, if you have a serial port and a second device available to capture the output, you can try using a serial console as described in the FAQ [1].
