first please try a -current snapshot. if it doesn't help, paste the *complete* dmesg from 4.2 and -current, in text format, into a reply to m...@. don't worry that it is a long email.
to save dmesg without working network, you can: 1. install 4.2. then download a -current kernel, place it under a different name e.g. "ftp -o /bsd.test ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/bsd";, boot it and "dmesg > /dmesg.test". then reboot to 4.2 and copy the dmesg off from there. -or- 2. copy the dmesg to a floppy or USB stick (or serial console if possible). there's a short guide here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg (for USB stick, you would usually replace /dev/fd0a with /dev/sd0i or similar).
