Start ruling out sections of the root cause scope, and pretty soon
you'll know the exact root cause. By the way, I think System Rescue CD
has SMART programs, so you can see whether your hard disk is damaged,
or just has lost its file system or GPT or MBR.

didn't start on boot. So I made an
rc.conf.local, put that line in the new file, and bang, it started on
boot.
Is /etc/rc.local just some artifact I should ignore, or does it
actually have a purpose?

It has a purpose. Some local startup activities may require
scripting
once at boot time. Typically you would only use this for
executing system-specific commands to initialize non-packaged
software that you've compiled yourself.
I think I understand. If I wanted to run daemontools at boot, I would
put the svscanboot command in /etc/rc.local, right?

So does this mean I should download and install 5.6 to power my

lo
Obviously this is a workaround, but until it's fixed it's better than
nothing. I don't know what the equivalent commands would be on
OpenBSD, but you might try them.

Hi all,
Over the weekend, on a Linux list, I read that the kvm hardware VM mods
to qemu are not available on OpenBSD, and as a result any qemu sessions
on OpenBSD are extremely slow. Is that true, or is it just FUD?
Thanks,

How many ethernet ports does it have? I'd love to use something like
that as a firewall/router.
