Well, /bsd is the first thing that gest installed,
and is relatively small compared to the other sets.
In this particular machine, the watchdog timeout hits when
bsd, bsd.rd, base, and half of comp have been installed.

It seems it's the SD card that is slow (the machine
is a BeagleBone Black) - will try with a faster one.

It seems I am missing out on
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub.diff?r1=1.1141&r2=1.1142&f=h
- I can't figure out how to pass the -x option that sets $UU
(and thus makes the timer reset before each set is installed).

Thank you for the insight.
