by I am having trouble installing OpenBSD 2.5 on a 486
that runs Linux fine (ie. hardware works).
486SLC2 with AMI BIOS from 1992
16M ram
monochrome display controller
EISA multi I/O controller
1.6G IDE drive on the EISA card
floppy, serial on the EISA card
ISA Intel EtherExpress 16 NIC (removing the NIC does not help)
OpenBSD floppy25.fs says the following when detecting drives
disk: fd0 hd0*
There is a pause after hd0 and then I hear the HD seek when
the console displays the *. The rest of the boot proceeds.
When it gets to the question about which disk is the root,
there are no drives available. I ctrl-c out and cat the
kern msgbuf which says (transcribed by pen and paper):
OpenBSD 2.5 ...
cpu: Intel 486DX (486 class)

WARNING: no swap space ...
Here is the dmesg from a Linux boot detecting the drive:
hda: WDC AC31600H, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: WDC AC31600H, 1549MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=3148/16/63
I would really appreciate any help on getting OpenBSD to
install on this drive.
Thanks,
