My Laptop Thinkpad X61 (the one where halt -p doesnt work) , can only be
installed via USB CDROM. It worked fine, just selected to boot off of
USB Devices in the BIOS, and that was it.

It's been a couple weeks actually since I tried this, so the details

I've tried USB booting, while my BIOS supports it (the boot process
starts) the installation hangs at the OpenBSD prompt. It just sits
there indefinitely if I leave it.
I've also tried PXE booting with VERY limited success. I get it to
pull the pxeboot file over tftp, but after that it just can't

You want to use PXE on blades.

external usb cdrom. installed an amd64 snapshot on em.
not sure what your problem is... booting PXE is pretty easy so you

I was considering getting a usb cd unit for installation purposes
myself, thinking that if the box can be persuaded to boot from a USB
device, there would be no further obsta
When (if ever) will support for installing OpenBSD with a USB CD-ROM
be added? I have a few
