*usually* I'm a bit quicker when it comes to testing but I got slowed
down by the OpenBSD CVS server outage. None the less, I tested the 11/29
snapshot yesterday and sent the results to Marco off list. -I've
appended that message below if you're curious.

Unlike you, I'm not in a rush and I've got the hardware to test stuff

If something goes dreadfully wrong on your box, you can always use 3.7
with the i4 for the time being and later upgrade to 3.8 -stable when
this issue gets resolved.

Well, I got the 11/29 snapshot downloaded and burnt to CD but no luck on
getting the i4 machine to boot.
There are two significant changes in the dmesg. (1) The geometry of the
"LOGICAL drive" on the MegaRAID i4 card, sd0, is now showing up
differently than before.
3.8-RELEASE
sd0: 718113MB, 91546 cyl, 255 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 1470695424
sec total
SNAPSHOT
sd0: 718113MB, 718113 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 1470695424
sec total
(2) The second major change is timeout ccb code reported has changed
from 1 to 126 i.e.
3.8-RELEASE
ami0: timeout ccb 1
SNAPSHOT
ami0: timeout ccb 126
There are two bits of weirdness I've encountered. The first is the
floppy drive just refuses to be used as a boot device anymore. BIOS
settings for it are fine and I tried three different drives and cables.
I also tried multiple boot diskettes which worked fine on other systems
(oth OpenBSD floppyB38.fs and DOS 6.22).
The other weird thing I noticed is when "Quick Boot" is disabled in the
BIOS and the system actually counts the RAM, only 512MB of RAM shows up.
The system has 2GB RAM installed. The board (SuperMicro P6DGE) supports
2GB but I'm not sure if the BIOS was written to actually test/count that
high since it would take quite a while. -Or of course, the other
possibility is I've got bad ram. I kinda doubt it but still...
Anyhow, dmesg's are below. If there's something more I can do to help
with debugging this, please let me know.
Thanks for all the help.
JCR
p.s. I've got what may turn out to be a cheap source for these cards
(new). Would you like one?
