Thanks Martin for the update!
I downloaded the latest alpha snapshot and ran into the same issue with the 
hard disk.
What I did was checked the scsi cable and disks for proper termination, etc.
The sd0 disk is an IBM DDRS-34560 4GB that was reporting 6GB on the 
partitioning program.
I performed a z (zero out partition) no effect.
Then tried g b (could not read bios) g d (read disk) worked!
p m showed proper disk space.
Viola! installed without a hitch.

Thanks OpenBSD team on the fix for the disable ohci from UKC. I did not have 
to do that manually from boot c on 3.7 installation.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

rogern
