hey, i'm on a 333mhz micron millenia. i have 64 megs of sdram. i installed
on a 1.2 gig drive, and openbsd uses the whole thing. The problem is is
that when i boot it stops responding after atempting to load portmap. I am
using osbs20b8 as my boot loader. Any solutions?

You could try hitting Ctrl-C and if it's not frozen, it will cancel the
attempt.

The other thing is to boot into single mode (or boot from a floppy and
escape into shell) and modify /etc/rc.conf so that it reads
"PORTMAP=NO".  That means some things like ruser and NIS will not work.

1. Freeze freeze freeze..

I have two problems that really suck.
The first is:
I can run dip and get my slip connection working, but when someone tries
to telnet into my machine, it either gives them...

Trying 128.193.5.41...
Connected to 128.193.5.41.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

or it gives them the login, and you can proceed to login.
The first time it dosn't give them the log in or anything, just
connection closes on them.
Sometimes when I start linux people can't log in at all, and other times
it works fine. Other times it dosn't work at first then you might try
back again and it will work. It dosn't matter if you use the ip# or the
name address.

My second problem is:

Stupid think FREEZES!
Everytime I start up linux and get on my slip, it will freeze after about
5 minutes. There are no messages and no warnings, it just freezes and I
can't do anything.

Please reply if you have any ideas what the hell is wrong!

Thanks in advance.
