Attempting to boot my Thinkstation S10 with a cd made from

The machine has a quad-core Intel processor, 4 Gb memory, 2 146 Gb SAS
drives on an LSI raid controller set up as a raid 0. It's plugged into
a Raritan Switchman KVM. I had no trouble installing Linux and later
FreeBSD on this machine. From what I've seen thus far of OpenBSD, I
prefer it to anything else. But this is obviously a showstopper if I
can't boot the install cd. Anyone have any ideas?
Thinkstation S10 seems to be based on Intel X38 chipset. It has some
special features regarding USB.

Possibly you need to enable the fourth USB port fully in the BIOS Setup?
Just my guess.
If USB support is not necessary for your install, you can go to UKC from
the boot prompt (see Boot-Time Configuration in the FAQ) and disable the
uhci(4) driver there. If you boot and install successfully, it will allow
you to send 'dmesg' and 'pcidump -v' output here for kind people to be
able to help you, if still needed.
