I installed OpenBSD 3.7 on a Compaq Presario 5304. That is an old
(about 7 years old I believe) PC. The dmesg is appended to this
email.
I noticed two rather strange problems during the installation and the
post-installation.
During the installation, at the disklabeling step, I entered "a a" to
add the root partition. The computer just froze. I had to turn it
off. I redid the exact same steps and on the second time it just
worked. Strange.
BTW, I believe this machine is reliable. It has been running Windows
2000 day and night for more than a year without a crash. I understand
that shit can happen though. Maybe the RAM went kaput or.....
The other problem I encountered was while I tried to setup my laser
printer. To check if I OpenBSD was able to talk to the printer, I
typed "lptest > /dev/lpt0". On the first try, the computer just
rebooted. On the second, it froze. (lptd was enabled in
rc.conf.local)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Pascal
p.s.: sorry about the possible bad English. It ain't my native
tongue.
p.p.s.: I read the afterboot(8), the whole FAQ, the FreeBSD Handbook
printer section and a whole lot of pages found through Google. It
seems I am one of a kind (well, the PC is..) :)
