I have a Shuttle SD11G5, which is a small Celeron-based PC (1.5Ghz Celeron,
2GB RAM, a couple SATA drives).

The OpenBSD 5.3 installer consistently hangs after I enter the Netmask for
the onboard NIC.

I'm booting the 32-bit x86 install53.iso.  I start configuring bge0 (which
is a BCM5789) and after "IPv4 address for bge0", the installer asks for
Netmask and after I enter it (255.255.255.0), the installer sits there
forever.

Same thing if I DHCP - after "Issuing hostname-associated DHCP request for
bge0" the installer hangs.

I also have an Intel Pro/1000 gig-E card (82574L) in the PCI Express slot,
which shows up on em0.  Unfortunately dmesg says "couldn't map interrupt"
and I'm not offered the chance to configure it.  I haven't found anything
useful via searching for fixing this.

This box previously ran Debian Linux with no problems, so I'm skeptical
it's a hardware problem.  The BMC578x series is listed as supported on the
bge(4) man page.

Any advice?
