Alright, I was able to boot and start installation, but OpenBSD does not manage to work with the LAN port. When telling it to use dhcp to configure the interface during installation, it just responds something along the lines of "no lease", but I can't even see an attempt at communicating when I check my router's log :/ (Armbian connects just fine and shows up in the log) Do you have any idea how I could fix this? On the datasheet about the specific model I own, I found that the LAN port is 'TM211Q01FM22_SH', but I am not sure if that is of any help. If it would help to tell you the output of any commands, I am happy to report back if you have an idea :) Thanks for your input!
