Hello Frank,many thanks for feedback.Well after replacing the CD-ROM drive I installed it via CD.But maybe my machine had some problems caused by the old faulty CD-ROM drive.

I saw your message and checked with my O2. There it works without a problem with `bsd.rd.IP32` from OpenBSD 6.0 (see below). Although I have an older firmware version than you, could it be that you're just booting the wrong file? This because the loading info (`9306240+565632 entry: 0xffffffffa0100000`) looks different on my machine compared to the output from your machine (`3281248+981560 entry: 0xffffffffa8800000`). The file size of the `bsd.rd.IP32` image is close to 10 MiB which would match my numbers but not yours, which sum up to roughly 4.2 MiB only. But it's just a guess currently, that these numbers reflect the size of the loaded file. ``` > version PROM Monitor (BE) Tue Dec 15 11:47:20 PST 1998 VERSION 4.11 O2 R5000/R10000 IRIX 6.3 IP32prom IP32PROM-v4 > bootp(): Setting $netaddr to 172.16.2.25 (from server ) Obtaining from server 9306240+565632 entry: 0xffffffffa0100000 Initial setup done, switching console.

Maybe that's your problem. Cheers, Frank
