Dear Peter, thank you for your reply.

Please correct me if I'm wrong: In your blog post [1] you describe installing OpenBSD on your then (2017) new silver colored laptop, a (Multicom) Clevo U831 with dmesg [2]. In the post you also mention your previous (2014) black colored laptop, a Clevo W840SU with dmesg [3]. This is the model I'm having trouble with. Sepcifically you write: "The main hurdle back when I was installing the 2014-vintage 14" model was getting the system to consider the SSD which showed up as sd1 the automatic choice for booting (I solved that by removing the MBR, setting the size of the MBR on the hard drive that showed up as sd0 to 0 and enlarging the OpenBSD part to fill the entire drive)." It would be great to learn more details on these steps, that is - how do I remove an MBR - how do I set the size of an MBR to 0 I believe these MBR tweaks might solve my hanging BIOS issue. > I need to be off to work now, but I could perhaps compare more notes sometime > in the afternoon if > needed. That would great! Thank you very much!
