I tried your suggestion and got the same result as SamuraiChef, which is
what I would expect - I want to use pciide, not disable it. If pciide is
disabled then surely I can't read from the cdrom.
I am sure that it is a problem with openbsd, not my setup. I've had many
helpful suggestions but none have been able to solve this problem. The
more people I talk to the more I come across this problem - so how do I
get a developer's attention? I realise they're volunteers, but surely
this is an important problem as it affects so many people, so it would
be in the interests of the community to fix it.

I've had this problem pop up on a Shuttle box before I solved it by
booting into
kernel configuration mode (boot -c) and then disabling pciide (disable
pciide*)
before continuing the boot process.
I have a similar problem on a new AOpen XCCube with an AMD Sempron (see
dmesg). I tried the disabling the pciide as described above. That didn't
work, it actually caused the system to panic. I have included the steps i
took (it was in the dmesg output). The trace and ps are here also. I don't
really need the cd-rom on this system, but hopefully this helps to fix the
problem.
