[OpenBSD 3.3/hppa] Install woes

Hi there,

I'm trying to install OpenBSD 3.3/hppa on a HP 712.

Bootstrapping, partitioning etc. are not a problem, but when it's time to
fetch the distribution sets (FTP from a PC) I keep getting these messages
every few seconds:

  e0: receive descriptors out of sync
  ie0: reset

And occasionally, I get these:
  d0(osiup0:6:0): command timed out
  osiop0: resetting chip
  osiop0: target 6 now using 8 bit 10 MHz 8 REQ/ACK offset xfers

Most of the sets can be fetched, it just takes ages. But the big one,
base33, stalls before it even gets halfway.

I tried isolating the PC and HP from the rest of the network and I changed
the (coax) cable, but that didn't help.

Any thoughts?

Someone over on misc@ suggested grabbing -current instead of 3.3, would
that help?

Alphons
