I'm rather sure about this.
Network looks like this:
+---------+ re0 -----[ Netgear switch ]
DSL/PPPoE ----- em0 | OpenBSD |
+---------+ re1 -----[ HP switch ]
com0
|
|
(serial console)
Looping the HP switch resulted in clients on the Netgear switch to be
unable to connect to any internet services provided via em0 and vice
vesa.
Anyway, the serial console didn't work either and the machine doesn't
respond to the power-off button. Need to get that paper clip for
rebooting. So I'm rather sure it really locked up.
I'm thinking about reconfiguring the machine like this:
+---------+ re0 -----[ Netgear switch ]
DSL/PPPoE ----- re2 | OpenBSD |
+---------+ em0 -----[ HP switch ]
com0
The re* interfaces are onboard. The em0 interface is on a miniPCI card.
I would like to know if the machine locks up when the broadcasts come
in through the em0 interface.
BTW: This is the hardware OpenBSD is running on:
