hi
i have installed openbsd 6.2 on a lenovo thinkcentre i5 desktop computer,
the installation completes fine afaics.
i reboot, the dmesg report scrolls up then the screen goes blank,
i can't tell if dmesg completes or stops half way through,
after which the machine doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse.
the following dmesg i retrieved dropping to a shell when booting from the
installation usb stick
i have also booted the machine with a live linux mint which works fine.
what could be causing the problem or what else can i do to retrieve any
meaningful diagnostics to forward to the list ?

a couple ideas:
1. try amd64. was there a specific reason you wanted to use i386 on this
relatively recent hardware?
2. if the screen goes black during autoconf, try disabling inteldrm to
see if any traces/stack dumps are printed. You can do this from the
boot> prompt by booting "bsd -c" or just "-c" and then "disable inteldrm"
when at the config prompt. "quit" after that to continue the boot.

thanks mike
