Any suggestions? That sounds really familiar. I had a random sparc machine show very similar behavior with multiple operating systems.

I bought a new switch, and everything worked properly. > OpenBSD 5.6-current (GENERIC.MP) #344: Sun Aug 24 16:18:23 MDT 2014 > dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP >
