Has anyone gotten OpenBSD 2.8 + I-Opener working? I installed it fine and it boots but the screen is blank.

Thanks

Maybe you have the same problem with iOpener video as Windoze users? When the system boots it leaves the video in graphics mode, leaving us with a blue screen when trying to run scandisk.

Perhaps you need to put something in you init sequence to reset the video mode to text? Under Windoze/DOS you can fix it by putting "mode co80,50" in AUTOEXEC.BAT. I dunno what the equiv is under OpenBSD, maybe "reset" (like Linux)?.

do a search for "boot fix for FreeBSD 4.0" ... essentially you have to use the tab key trick to get the screen to the bios text mode screen (I hit tab till I see the bios boot screen)

also, after you get running, you'll need to do the following to enable the usb on the box.
config -ef /bsd
enable uhci
enable ohci

all in all OpenBSD 2.8 was an easy install (even for a bsd newbie like myself).

P.S. thanks go to the openbsd mailing list for help on the enabling of usb ...
