PowerPC disk boot problem
Hello,
I'm having problems booting to OpenBSD/powerpc from disk, after installing
it from CD successfully.
Here's what I get (I press RETURN after /bsd):
============= cut =============
0 > boot hd:,ofwboot /bsd load-size=e4cc adler32=e5569bcc
Loading ELF
found OpenBSD DPME partition
============= cut =============
I can boot to the 2.9 CD, mount my disk partitions, and all looks fine.
The only issue I had, intermittently, is that the USB bus would sometimes
get "stuck". For example, after booting to the CD, if I press "i" for
install, the key would keep repeating until I reset my USB hub. I would see
"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" until I powercycled my USB hub. To eliminate this
potential problem, I removed the USB hub and all devices from the iMac,
except the keyboard. That didn't seem to make any difference, as I was still
unable to boot from my disk.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

disklabel output.
When booted from the CD, verify that the kernel is present in the
wd0a partition
There is a problem with the usb driver with key repeat of the very first key
pressed on some systems. it can can be avoided by pressing a non-repeating
key first, such as the shift key, or "fixed" by unplugging the mouse and
plugging it back in.

First, thanks for the key repeat tip.
Second, the kernel was NOT on my disk!! I copied /bsd from the CD to wd0a.
Rebooted, but still no luck.
Third, I created a network, and got the following information: pdisk,
disklabel, dmesg.
Let me know if there's anything else you need.
Thanks,
David
