Don't think your platform is supported: https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html otherwise let us know, I will install it on mine too ;d) -- Daniele Bonini May 18, 2023 08:39:07 yellowcutterpillow : > Hello! > > I wanted to install OpenBSD on my Macbook Pro 8,1 (Early/Late 2011) > but seem to fail.

Installing OpenBSD on MacbookPro 8,1 (Late/Early 2011)
Hello! I wanted to install OpenBSD on my Macbook Pro 8,1 (Early/Late 2011) but seem to fail. When I boot up install73.img or miniroot73.img, they boot up, but when I actually boot up the ramdisk, bsd or bsd.rd, they stuck up at a message about aicp0 being remapped or something. I would try to diagnose it but I can't since when I boot with -c flag, the cursor glitches, or the keyboard stops working, because I can't type anything. I've set up a QEMU emulation of OpenBSD on my Linux box and it works fine. The reason I did so is because I've sort read that I can configure the kernel using it though I lost the reference, so now I don't have any idea on how I can even turn on the ``verbose`` flag in the kernel. I can't also access ``dmesg,`` so if anyone has any idea, I'd be more than happy for your help. Some info, MBP 8,1 is Intel i5, QUAD CORE, and UEFI. No BIOS options, not sure if it supports CMS. Thank you very much!
