I try to install OpenBSD 5.2 i386 to a box with this board. It has an Intel G645 Pentium processor with 4GB of ram and a 500G of Sata3 hard drive. It has an onboard AR8151 ethernet which I understand is not supported by the generic kernel. There is a web page about a diff workaround which dont I dont bother now because I plan to use other nics in the worst case. So my problem is not currently with this nic now. I hardly installed 5.2 generic (it took 5-6 hours, because the cdrom was too slow) and now it cant boot. I mean, when booting it comes to this line in dmesg root on wd0a ..... swap on wd0b dump on wd0b and the error occurs "init : cannot stat /etc/login.conf No such file or directory sh: /etc/rc No such file or directory init: /etc/pwd.db No such file .... Enter pathname of shell ....."
I guess the /etc/ filesystem is not mounted or there is no such filesystem. I try to change some bios settings without success. Even I tried disable acpi option when booting but this leads to debugger menu from where I dont know how to report the dump etc. So any help would be appreciated. Here is the board manifacture's web page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4141
