The first sign of trouble is that the UKC prompt doesn't work. It
won't accept input. When booting without going to UKC, it shows
various USB related error messages and the after a very long time
comes to the install prompt, which doesn't accept input either.
This happens both with an acpi-enabled bsd.rd and the default
bsd.rd.
I didn't have a chanche yet to diagnose this further.

One easy method to install OpenBSD on a Macbook is to plug an
external
usb keyboard before booting on the CD. Booting takes a while but then
you can use the external keyboard to install OpenBSD. Be sure not to
use the network, msk0 will hang the machine without some acpi
features
IIRC.
Then reboot, you will get errors about ehci, ignore them and still
use
the external keyboard.
Compile a GENERIC.MP kernel with all acpi option enabled on another
machine and copy it to the macbook with a CD, or grab -current
sources
on CD from another machine and copy them to the macbook. Reboot and
enjoy, built-in keyboard works, ethernet (msk0) works, usb sticks
work. But wireless device (ath0) doesn't.
I haven't tried X11 for a while but I think it works too.
Ah, I did try that before but it didn't work. But now it turns out
that I have to use the frontmost USB port. The other one is not
working. Installing as I write this...
Trying now... this is all i386, i assume?
