Hi-

I'm installing OpenBSD 3.3 on a IIci, IBM DORS-32160 HD, 20MB RAM, 
internal video (only card is Asante NIC).

I successfully installed kernel, base33, and etc on a 200Mb root & usr 
partition. (Installer failed on a larger partition, so after some web 
searching, came up with this soln).

I am booting the IIci into system 7.1 from an external Western Digital 
drive.

When I boot, things appear to start well, but then hangs at 
"Bootstrapping the pmap system."

I have tried the following:

-Both bsd and bsd_sbc kernels
-virtual memory is off, 32-bit addressing is on
-Booter has 5/8mb (min/pref) memory assigned
-screen is set to b&w
-boot 7.1 with no extensions (hold shift on boot)

Any other suggestions?

Could it be the external drive. I copied System Folder to an HDF 
partition on the internal (IBM) drive, but it will not boot. So I stuck 
with booting off the WD external drive.

Thanks!
