I can confirm that the MacBook Pro is amd64.
And yes the install process starts from the USB stick and falls over
trying to find
/etc/boot.conf.
Using the limited commands of the installer I can't find /etc/boot.conf
so I can't
tell the installer where it is!
However just for Jan Stary, I used to run OpenBSD on an original Bondi
Blue iMac, you should be using ofwboot
for macppc if I remember correctly and be able to rummage around the
filesystems using decidely opaque commands for
Open Firmware.

After using the Apple magic 'alt' key to boot from the USB stick I get
this:-
probing pc0 mem [list of numbers]
disk: hdo* hd1*
> > OpenBSD /amd64 BOOTX64 3.62
open (hd0a: /etc/boot.conf: Invalid argument
failed (22) will try /bsd
I see a similar problem on an old macppc (dmesg below).
In my case, the error message is
boot.conf: line too long
while there is no boot.conf
Using 'set' and 'help' doesn't yield any useful info
to find the boot.conf file.
That should be /etc/boot.conf.
I guess there is one on the install media - what dfoes it say?
ls gives hd0a Invalid Argument
ls hd0a gives hd0a:hd0a Invalid Argument
I am able to boot with
> boot hd:/bsd
but I only have one disk in. Try that or
> boot hd0a:/bsd
set shows the device as hd0.
hd0a is definitely the USB stick.
To be sure: you are trying to boot the USB stick to install, right?
As opposed to trying to boot the already installed system.
Is this install doomed to fail or am I missing some secret info that
rummaging through the boot(8)
boot_config(8) and boot_configamd64(8) man pages has failed to find?
Also, are you sure it's an amd64 machine?
(Not related to the boot problem I guess.)
