I have problem installing OpenBSD 2016.05.20 i386 snapshot. I was unguarded with preparation.
I had booted bsd.rd from Grub2, to avoid using some installer media. Grub2: set root=(hdx,y) kopenbsd /root/bsd.rd boot The installer boots fine. I get IP from DHCP. It came quickly. Configuring, as usual. I deleted all of my previous HDD partitions. No return. Came to sets. I choose 'http', because i didn't download the sets. I used an official mirror. "ftp: <mirror>: no address associated with name Looked at http://<mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snaphots/i386 and found no OpenBSD/i386 6.0 sets. The set name looked for were: ..." I go to shell with "!". Network card is dc(4). ifconfig: OK route -n show: OK ping internet: not ok ping gateway: not ok ping other PC: not ok But i got IP from DHCP! Trying static IP configuring, playing with ifconfig dc0 media, playing with ifconfig dc0 mediaopts No success, i stuck. Typed from dmesg: dc0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0 "Xircom X3201-3" rev 0x03: irq11, address 00:... tqphy0 at dc0 phy 0: 78Q2120 10/100 PHY, rev. 11 "Xircom 56k Modem" rev 0x03 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 1 not configured" ... tqphy0 detached dc0 detached dc0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0 "Xircom X3201-3" rev 0x03: irq11, address 00:... tqphy0 at dc0 phy 0: 78Q2120 10/100 PHY, rev. 11 "Xircom 56k Modem" rev 0x03 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 1 not configured" I installed another PC in the same local network, with the install60.iso from the same time, using the sets from the same official mirror. It works, it sees the sets, it pings the gateway, it pings the internet. I cannot show you a dmesg, because no network. I made some mistakes: I did not leave the old, working system, i deleted all of the partitions, and i didn't download the installer sets. But i didn't halted the installer yet, it waites some smart command. Can i solve this without reboot the PC? Can i solve this without purchase some installer media (FDD, CD)? It is a ThinkPad 600X. It is not booting from USB and PXE. The PC in the previous OS worked right, had network and long before worked with OpenBSD, too. Maybe the problem is booting bsd.rd from Grub2?
