The firmware could be trying to parse the partitions for FS's (flash cards are known to do this w/ FAT) but the firmware is getting confused by the FS and getting lost in the weeds... It could be that OpenBSD has a longer timeout period than FreeBSD... How long are you seeing it wait before you see the messages? Do you have any custom kernel options, like HZ set? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
