I apologize - it hadn't occurred to me that I could use a thumb drive to transport a dmesg. Bad hacker! Lose 10 hacker points!
I tried installing without configuring network, which was successful, however once I tried to ifconfig bge0 ("ifconfig bge0 192.168.x.x. netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.x.255") the console session hung. Here is the dmesg...had to hunt for a USB port that didn't "device problem, disabling" but found one: OpenBSD 5.3 (RAMDISK_CD) #49: Tue Mar 12 18:50:37 MDT 2013 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.50GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.51 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,PBE,NXE,PERF real mem = 2138566656 (2039MB) avail mem = 2095865856 (1998MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 03/24/06, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfa410, SMBIOS rev. 2.2 @ 0xf0000 (39 entries) bios0: vendor Phoenix Technologies, LTD version "6.00 PG" date 03/24/2006 bios0: Shuttle Inc SD11V10 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 acpi at bios0 function 0x0 not configured pcibios0 at bios0: rev 3.0 @ 0xf0000/0xd1b4 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfd0d0/176 (9 entries) pcibios0: bad IRQ table checksum pcibios0: PCI BIOS has 12 Interrupt Routing table entries pcibios0: PCI Exclusive IRQs: 3 4 5 7 10 11 pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 ("Intel 82801FBM LPC" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #3 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xe800! 0xd0000/0x8000! 0xd8000/0x1000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82915GM Host" rev 0x04 vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 82915GM Video" rev 0x04 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) ppb0 at pci0 dev 28 function 0 "Intel 82801FB PCIE" rev 0x04: irq 5 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 bge0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM5789" rev 0x11, BCM5750 B1 (0x4101): irq 10, address 00:30:1b:ba:c5:c0 brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5750 10/100/1000baseT PHY, rev. 0 ppb1 at pci0 dev 28 function 2 "Intel 82801FB PCIE" rev 0x04: irq 7 pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 em0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000 MT (82574L)" rev 0x00: couldn't map interrupt uhci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 0 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 4 uhci1 at pci0 dev 29 function 1 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 11 uhci2 at pci0 dev 29 function 2 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 7 uhci3 at pci0 dev 29 function 3 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 5 ehci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 7 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 4 usb0 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub0 at usb0 "Intel EHCI root hub" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 1 ppb2 at pci0 dev 30 function 0 "Intel 82801BAM Hub-to-PCI" rev 0xd4 pci3 at ppb2 bus 3 "Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy LS" rev 0x00 at pci3 dev 9 function 0 not configured "VIA VT6306 FireWire" rev 0x80 at pci3 dev 10 function 0 not configured pcib0 at pci0 dev 31 function 0 "Intel 82801FBM LPC" rev 0x04 pciide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 2 "Intel 82801FBM SATA" rev 0x04: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <WDC WD3200AAKS-00UU3A0> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 305245MB, 625142448 sectors wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <WDC WD3200AAKS-22L6A0> wd1: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 305245MB, 625142448 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 6 "Intel 82801FB SMBus" rev 0x04 at pci0 dev 31 function 3 not configured usb1 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb2 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub2 at usb2 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb3 at uhci2: USB revision 1.0 uhub3 at usb3 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb4 at uhci3: USB revision 1.0 uhub4 at usb4 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 umass0 at uhub0 port 4 configuration 1 interface 0 "USB2.0 External Mass Storage Device" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2 umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, initiator 0 cd0 at scsibus0 targ 1 lun 0: <Slimtype, eTAU208 2, ML07> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable serial.1c6ba2224000000004F7 uhidev0 at uhub2 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball" rev 1.00/2.10 addr 2 uhidev0: iclass 3/1 uhid at uhidev0 not configured softraid0 at root scsibus1 at softraid0: 256 targets root on rd0a swap on rd0b dump on rd0b uhub0: device problem, disabling port 8 uhub0: port 7, set config at addr 3 failed uhub0: device problem, disabling port 7 uhidev0 detached umass1 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "Kingston DataTraveler 2.0" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 3 umass1: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus2 at umass1: 2 targets, initiator 0 sd0 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: <Kingston, DataTraveler 2.0, 1.00> SCSI2 0/direct removable serial.09511665FD71298131ED sd0: 7388MB, 512 bytes/sector, 15131636 sectors
