What about the other USB 2.0? because the machine has 2 USB ports, one 2.0 and one 3.0. I used the USB 2.0 and I am getting the same problem. I also used USB 3.0 after disabling BIOS USB XHCI and still getting the same problem. The problem with installing over a network is that I know nothing about networking, not even the basic knowledge. Do you think that OpenBSD 5.7 will work?
