Linux OS'en (IIRC) use lspci like what pciconf is for FreeBSD.
I don't know if Open would have any of those tools built in. I don't
have a "ready" openbsd box right now.
Google search for "thunderboot ultimate boot cd" doesn't reveal
anything. it suggested a spelling correction, for thunderboom, which
didn't easily reveal any bootable cd. A link to the ISO and I'd offer
what I can for diagnostics and probing solutions.
Is there a way to get the kernel to more verbosely announce what it's
probing and configuring, like what FreeBSD's boot loader's "-v" option
will do? Haven't tried, haven't looked anything up.
We are definately narrowing down the culprit, and I just hope we come
to a solid conclusion.

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
"I can" is a way of life.
More and Bigger is not always Better.
The road to success is always uphill.
