I am having a problem booting an Intel xSeries 336 from cdrom. I have
tried both the 3.7 cd image and the latest snapshot image and both have
the same symptoms.
When the machine boots, it loads the kernel into memory correctly, and
begins probing the pci bus. I haven't got the exact dmesg as th
When I attempt to mount a cd or read the disklabel, I get this error

How far did you go on your own to debug this ?
I'm new to OpenBSD and I don't know how to debug this any further. I'm open to
suggestions though and prepared to learn.
Did you try to swap the drive ?
Did you try to swap the cable ?
Do you have another OS on your system to try from there ?

Please let me know if there is any information that I haven't provided

While I realize it's not ideal, if it's at all helpful I can provide
access to a machine via ssh for a developer who is working on a fix.

I tried your suggestion and got the same result as SamuraiChef, which is
what I would expect - I want to use pciide, not disable it. If pciide is
disabled then surely I can't read from the cdrom.
I am sure that it is a problem with openbsd, not my setup. I've had many
helpful suggestions but n
Thanks for your help.
I would appreciate your suggestions on how to spin this as an
interesting problem worthy of an OpenShaman.
I've found a workaround by using usb flash media, but I'd still like to
get this problem fixed.
Stephen, you have made a gross miscalculation. If you had take
Oh, ok. How can I do this without being dropped into the debugger then?
Is wdc likely to do better? From reading man pages I understood that I
had to use atapiscsi with pciide.
