Just to follow up, I apologised to Martin off list regarding the dmesg
photos. Reason for the photos was that this laptop only has 2x USB
ports & a thunderbolt port as expansion but unfortunately the USB
ports are not working hence resorting to photos.
Then I remembered that my previous attempt of successfully installing
OpenBSD on here involved a thunderbolt cinema display, the gigabit
ethernet port on the display was detected as bge(4) and functioned.
I no longer have access to a cinema display but do have a thunderbolt
gigabit ethernet adapter which I hadn't tried yet.
Worked a treat, I was able to boot the laptop from a USB flash drive &
perform a network install via the bge(4) interface.
the thunderbolt adapter is only detected if it's attached prior to
booting the kernel, I guess this is because it crosses over several
areas and is not seen as a detachable device?
If you do disconnect it after booting, the system hard locks needing a
power cycle.
sleep & resume works except in X where on resume the trackpad goes crazy.
USB wise, I have a verbatim usb 2 flash drive which works fine, my
other flash drives do not, (kernel reports: xhci0: NULL xfer pointer,
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1
urtwn(4) interface is detected but doesn't appear to work.
