Perhaps you need to look at the FAQ if you're running i386: upgrading/reinstalling OpenBSD/i386 using bsd.rd-a.out [1]. If that doesn't solve your problem, a dmesg would be your best bet. Information from a panic (trace/ps, obtained through the debugger you get dropped into) would also be helpful. Since you mentioned you have a serial console available, I recommend using it to file a report. Upon freezes, I usually try to boot into the UKC to set the verbose option. Typically, this gave me a hint in devices to disable. As a sidenote: my own usual culprit is the ahc(4) driver. That said, this only happens with two machines, each having an nVidia nForce2 chipset. Given that you mentioned rd0 as a problem point, I doubt you are having the same underlying problem. Cheers, Rogier References: 1.
