I am trying to install OpenBSD 6.4 amd64 on an IBM x-series server. The boot process halts after the kernel gets a "fatal page fault in supervisor mode".
The machine is a x3650 M3 server, 2x six-core XEON E5645 2.4GHz, 88GB RAM, 3 x 146GB HDD, Serveraid M1015 7945 RAID adapter, 4 x Broadcom NetXtreme II. NICs. I have to install Nextcloud on it. The system is going to serve a small non-profit organization I am in, so budget is low. Any help is greatly appreciated!
