Hi there,

I am trying to install openbsd and i am boot using BOOTX64.EFI

I've tried booting using pxe and a usb stick and get to the same results.

On two slightly older amd64 devices everything works fine.

However, on a HP 430 G8 and a HP 630 G9 i get the exact same issue.

I have tried with 7.7,7.8,7.9 and get the same result, see below.

It then hangs at this point.


I have tried boot -c but it hangs at the same point.

As such any help on how to diagnose this would be appreciated.
