Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it brings up an interesting question..
How well does OpenBSD support DVD-RAM drives? does the cd(4) driver support read/write operations? - i.e: Would it be possible to use it as a normal block device? Again, sorry for hijacking.. unfortunately, I'm not sure why your system is bailing out at that point, consider enabling verbose in UKC. (boot -c) ..And yet another off-topic question, What about Mount Rainier (packet writing) support for CD-RW drives? that would be so awesome! :D -Nix Fan.
