hello!

there was only a DOS installation on the notebook, so I copied bsd.rd in C: from
the cdrom and than did a bsdboot.com -o bsd.rd (if you wipe the disk and the
install fails you are fucked Smile

thanks for the tip, but it did not work either.
the "bsdboot.com -o bsd.rd" gaves out two newlines, but nothing else :(

regards, enno (who maybe will never have a real os on his notebook)

hehe Wink thats true
Usually i use my notebook in the train for listening music and chatting
on irc. Because it wont work on linux i use win2k at the moment. All the
linux geeks hate me for that, but no one gets the sound workin ;)


so two links of interst for you:
http://doorslam.net/tp600/
http://www.baiti.net/tp770x/ps2.html

the first is to make sound work under openbsd, the second to use PS2.EXE from
a bootable cd instead of having to make a dos bootdisk (I needed this to change
my serial port configuration, no way from the evil ibm bios :)

I also used this tool to install openbsd the first time:

not really. i'm watching movies on a tv as well, because i can still
surf and chat in the net :)

In the past i had 2 22" screens, that was ok. one for movies, one for
other stuff. But the real good movies have to be watched in a cinema
larger than live :)

thanks. today i'll try it with a openbsd 3.5 live cd Wink if that does not
work i have to install it at my company notebook.

Do you have the pci or the isa soundcard? does it work?
(i had several problems with my cs4610, will not run under linux)

regards, enno

I don't use any sound on it Sad
I had the sound once kind of working on Knoppix, but the built in speakers
where not loud, and i don't use applications wich produce sound. I have a
few PC's, but only one of them has speakers connected. (and even that one
can be very annoying!)
"If i want to listen to music, I will use my stereo"
"If i want to watch a movie, I can watch it on TV/DVD/VCR"
Maybe i'm too backwards :-)

Hello!
i have a strange problem: on my ibm thinkpad 600e the 3.6CD will not
boot. i tired it with the cd and the cd/dvd rom. The bios works, but
whenit starts booting the cd *nothing* happens, the screen keeps black.

Ich tried it with the oot floppy with the same result. Deian works,
windows works, but no openbsd.

I burned the oot image to a cd, but it does not work. i have really _no_
clue why that happens. any ideas?

regards, enno

Hello;
I noticed that my Thinkpad 600E has/had the same problem. I.E no problem
with Slackware Linux, Knoppix or FreeBSD. But OpenBSD ... no boot from
CD-ROM
For the first instalation of OpenBSD (3.5) i moved the Hard Disk to a
desktop computer and installed the OS there and moved the disk back into
the laptop.
Later i droped the laptop and had to replace the disk ...
I got a external floppy drive for US$20 and installed (booted) OpenBSD 3.6
from there.

I noticed also other computers which have/had problems booting that
CD. I.E. a old DELL (100MHz Pentium)
