Hi, this is my first attemp to installa OpenBSD on a system... I have an Epia PD mini-itx system (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=241) with a Intel PCI ethernet card (Intel PRO/1000MT Dual Port Server Adapter - PWLA8492MT) when I try to install OpenBSD 4.2 the system freeze (well... it seems to freeze: ctrl-c has no effect, every keypress is printed to the screen without result, after 2 minutes I belive that the system is frozen)... the installation stop during the network configuration after i have entered the IPv4 address for em1 (the system has 4 ethernet port: vr0, vr1, em0, em1)... I was able to install the system without network configuration!!! so I have an OpenBSD 4.2 installation but if I try to bring the ethernet interface up the system freezes (only with em0 or em1)... I do not know how to solve the problem... I have not found usefull information on the mailing list (there was some problem with this ethernet adapter near 2006 with a past OpenBSD version)... I have search into the bug track without result... someone can tell me where can I search for a solution or what to do? thanks...
