Hi,

I installed OpenBSD 3.2/mac68k on an old Mac IIci I had lying around as 
per the install instructions. After 7 hours or so, all the packages 
were installed, the device nodes created, and it was ready to boot.

I ran up the Booter and selected the correct SCSI ID for my hard disk 
(ID 4), changed the kernel name to bsd (/bsd as it says in the install 
doc does not work). I tell it to boot, hit ok on the prompt when it 
comes up (the one asking whether to boot or not) and then the screen 
switches to framebuffer mode and displays the following:

[ using 380362 bytes of bsd a.out symbol table ]
Bootstrapping OpenBSD/mac68k.
Getting mapping from MMU.
System RAM: 33226752 bytes in 8112 pages.
           Low = 0x4000000, high = 0x4ff8000
           Low = 0x50000, high = 0x1000000
           Low = 0x4ff8000, high = 0x5000000
     Video address = 0xfbb08000
     Int video starts at 0xfbb08000
     Length = 0x50000 (327680) bytes
Done.
Bootstrapping the pmap system.

And that's where it stops.

I've removed the 24 bit Video card that was in there and am now using 
the builtin video, but get the same results.
I have left it in this state for several hours to see if anything 
happens (this box is incredibly slow compared to my iBook), but alas, 
no go.

Any hints ?

Dave
