I'm missing the bootloader interaction with OpenBSD 4.2 installed on a compact flash card in this alix2c3. With the most recent bios from PC Engines 0.99. If I strike any keys ( like boot -s) during the time when the boot> prompt should appear the system will not boot. If I wait it boots fine. The output from a console session is below. When this same compact flash is installed in a PC Engines wrap board I get the boot> prompt.
