Interesting. I booted to do the install with miniroot58.fs written to a USB flash drive. I then added an additional partition to the same USB flash drive and put all my sets in there (long story short). Normally I have been unable to get to the install prompt successfully with traditional non-(U)EFI boot media. The install has always frozen with various problems. This time, after booting from EFI, everything went just fine. Now, if I disabled inteldrm(4) and switched back to efifb(4) and used wsfb(4) in X, I could have a mostly working install. I’m hoping changes come through on inteldrm(4) attachment to fix this display corruption and this system might be an excellent OpenBSD option (with a USB urtwn(4) or other for wireless). Bryan
