OpenBSD/i386 4.0 Install CD successfull boot on IBM HS20 BladeCenter !

2006-09-05 Thread Bruno Carnazzi

  Hi misc,

I've spent some time in trying to install openbsd on some IBM HS20 and
I didn't manage with 3.8 and 3.9. While trying with the 4.0-beta CD,
I've found a way to boot. As I don't have some erasable HS20
available, I can't install it. If someone can post here a dmesg after
installation, it would be great. The trick is really simple, you just
have to disable pckbc driver :

* Boot on cd40.iso
* Boot in UKC (boot -c)
* in UKC :
disable pckbc
exit

That's all folks :)

I think this should work too with 3.8 and 3.9. The setting can be made
permanent with config(8).

Best regards,

Bruno

I don't know why, but you have to press a key at the beginning of the
kernel load, if not, it won't boot...

Doh... with 3.9-stable CD, this leads to a kernel panic :(
