Thanks again, this fixed the issue
Here is what I did:
Talos II, dual 8 core, 128GB
- removed the LSI HBA (mpii not working)
- added USB 3 dock with SSD
- Radeon RX 580 (not tested)
Using the same installer snapshot mentioned in my earlier email, I was
able to to install to the USB 3 docked SSD
At the disk selection question, it defaulted to sd0 which was the
installer USB stick. I had to change this to sd1, the SSD in the dock.
The same thing happened on the previous install.
When the partitioning prompt appeared, I just chose the whole disk option
Rebooting from the installer, petitboot shows OpenBSD, I select it and
it boots from the dock
During the first boot, there is a long delay, maybe 5 minutes, at this step:
reordering libraries: done.
I can now log in to OpenBSD
Can anybody suggest when it will be feasible to try amdgpu or is there
any other graphics card I could try now?
Is there anything I can do to get verbose output from mpii about the LSI
HBA? If I can provide any more detailed logs then I would be happy to
do so.
Regards,
Daniel
