I just dug through the geocrawler archives and came up empty; I've got a
KT7A athlon system that I'm having one issue with. (heh)
The KT7A has the VIA KT133A chipset, and UDMA33/66/100 support. My system
has a 1Ghz Athlon on it and 512MB RAM, and 2 60-GB maxtor drives (uhh...
UDMA66, I think).
Ive had no problems booting the floppy for install, nor have I had problems
installing (network install, 3c905PCI) -- however, as soon as I halt after
install and reboot, I get nothing. The BIOS says "booting from drive 0
partition 3", and just sits there. The bootloader refuses to actually boot
the thing -- either from the MBR or from the install floppy. It recognizes
hd0 and 1, but won't boot them. I don't think it's a hardware issue; I'm
able to boot Linux on the same box (from the MBR) just fine, but as it's
going to be a firewall/server, I'd much rather put OpenBSD on it, for
obvious reasons. :)
Does anyone know if the bootloader in cvs has any fixes for newer mobo
chipsets? Is it going to even be possible for me to build the bootloader
from CVS on my other obsd system and put enough together to make a bootdisk
and pull the system up by it's bootstraps?
TIA,
