Hi Shaun, I've just got a Lenovo T450s and tried to install OpenBSD 5.7. Early during the installation (while typing the hostname) I had a strange keyboard behaviour: pressing once "f" lead me to a second of freeze and then as if I've inputed "f" about ten times. I've continued the installation and later - during the network configuration questions - I pressed once <Enter> which led to the same behaviour as previously. What happened is that the "superflous" <Enter> did answer the default for the next questions, in particular the disk setup which use the whole disk for OpenBSD. This led to the whole hard drive being formatted. I had only a fresh debian installed so no harm here, but if you try to install OpenBSD on T450s I would highly recommend you to backup your disk. FYI I've used /OpenBSD/5.7/amd64/install57.fs on an USB key. I should have let the install finish and send a dmesg before reinstalling the debian back but I've thought about it too late. If someone need a dmesg or other infos I might try again with the hard drive unplugged this time, let me know. Maybe the installer should have a confirmation question before the disk partitionning / formatting with a default answer of "no" ? Regards, Alex.
