I have tried disabling ACPI support in the boot sequence per the install doc. When the first color installer screen comes up requesting modules from a driver floppy, I am unable to respond because the keyboard does not respond. I tried an OpenBSD boot disk, which worked, so I mounted a floppy and redirected the OpenBSD dmesg to a file: OpenBSD 3.4 (RAMDISK) #134: Wed Sep 17 04:01:12 MDT 2003 deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK cpu0: F00F bug workaround installed cpu0: Intel Pentium (P54C) ("GenuineIntel" 586-class) 100 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8 real mem =3D 16363520 (15980K) avail mem =3D 11575296 (11304K) using 225 buffers containing 921600 bytes (900K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(ff) BIOS, date 07/25/96, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf7000 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev. 2.1 @ 0xf7000/0x1000 pcibios0: PCI BIOS has 4 Interrupt Routing table entries pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:01:0 ("Opti 82C558 PCI-ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #0 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xc000 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Opti 82C557 Host" rev 0x14 pcib0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Opti 82C558 PCI-ISA" rev 0x02 vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Cirrus Logic CL-GD7548" rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) pciide0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0 "Opti 82C621 IDE" rev 0x12: DMA (unsupported), channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 1376MB, 2796 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 2818368 sectors pciide0: channel 1 ignored (not responding; disabled or no drives?) isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0/2 iomem 0xd0000/16384 pcic0 controller 0: has sockets A and B pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0 ne3 at pcmcia0 function 0 "D-Link, DE-660, 118B6603" port 0x340/32: irq 3 ne3: address 00:80:c8:8b:c8:67 pcmcia1 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 1 pcic0: irq 9, polling enabled biomask 4040 netmask 4048 ttymask 424a rd0: fixed, 3560 blocks root on rd0a rootdev=3D0x1100 rrootdev=3D0x2f00 rawdev=3D0x2f02 I am going to try to set the device.hints settings to match these and see if I can get it to boot, but I was wondering if anyone had a pointer for me?
