My box is a VAIO SRX41P with the PC-CARD CDROM. I have no Disk-Drive so unfortunately I can't check floppy-boot. I think this has something to do with PC-Card. I can remember I had a similar problem when PXE-booting a Soekris Net4501 (CF-Memory, no ATA). Right now I'm downloading DP1 to check it with 5.0. Just to mention: Booting OpenBSD is working but CD is not supported. Suggestions are welcome (BIOS doesn't boot USB-CD, no Floppy available, no Firewire CD, PXE-Boot possible but first I'll try 5.0).
