Not very useful, but search back in the mailing list and you will find a
post from me about a failure to install on the exact same model ofÂ
MacBook Pro.
There must be somthing delightfully different about these MacBook Pros!
it now runs Devuan linux because systemd is evil.

Dear @misc,
I was trying to install OpenBSD on an Early-2015 (intel) Macbook Pro [1]
earlier but the ramdisk fails to start. It stops somewhere halfway
through, I never get to the install prompt. It hangs after it gets to:
sd0 at scsibus0 [...]
sd0: XMB, Y bytes/sector, Z sectors, thin
And just nothing happens. [2]
I have had no issues booting / (re)installing MacOS (El Capitan) or
Linux (it currently has Fedora 42 installed). I updated the boot manager
to rEFInd to see if it makes a difference but it did not.
I attach the output of `hwinfo` and `dmesg` from Fedora, if it is any
help.
How can I get the installer to start? Any hints?
Thanks,
requiem.
