Thanks for your help, but I already tried that possibility.
I had to disable the following devices:
pciide*
uhub*
brgphy*
bge*
wdc*
isa0
then the last lines are:
isa at mainbus0 not configured
biomask ffff netmask ffff ttymask ffff
rd0: fixed, 3800blocks
root on rd0a
rootdev=0x1100 rrootdev=0x2f00 rawdev=0x2f02
Warning: RTC time at or beyond 2038
Warning: year set back to 2037
Warning: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
Warning: using file system time
Warning: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
*hanging*
It can't be that I have to disable so many (important) devices to get to
this point ...
I wish I would have bought a Thinkpad ...

The boot process stops at different points every time, so it doesn't
help to disable devices (anyway I tried it!)
Does anyone have similar problems? Is there any solution available? The
Hardware should be fine (~6 months old, Windows/FreeBSD/Knoppix all
work!)!
I had something similiar happen to me on an older laptop once.
On the initial boot up, boot with the '-c' option. At the prompt enable
verbose mode. It will then boot and you will be able to see what it gets
stuck on. See also this link...

In my case, I had to disable ahc ('disable ahc' at the UKC prompt) and
that enabled me to install OBSD. After the initial boot and set up, you
don't have to do it again because the install will configure everythink
correctly.
I don't want to sell this notebook and buy a Thinkpad instead ... ;-\
Awww, you really should. I got my first one this month after years with
Apples and Dells with OBSD. OBSD works so well with the TPs.

Thanks for your help in advance.
