Hello all,

. I just bought a new A20-OLinuXino-LIME that I want to turn into
a mail server only, running OpenBSD.

. My problem now is that the installation hangs just after
I am prompted to:

Welcome to the OpenBSD/armv7 7.3 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell?

I chose "i" and hit Enter but then, nothing happens.

. Some details about the setup:

  - I am using a USB to serial adapter with minicom running
    on a GNU/Linux computer to run the installation on the
    board.

  - I prepared the micro-SD card as follows:
    1) sudo dd if=02_miniroot-cubie-73.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
    2) rm sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dtb (from the BOOT partition)
    3) cp sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb (in the BOOT partition)
    4) dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8

    At this point I tried to install but got stuck at the step
    described before and I realized that the *.tgz were missing. So
    I created a new partition in FAT32 on the remaining space of the
    micro-SD card where I copied the bsd, bsd.rd, base74, comp74, game74,
    man74, xbase74, xfont74, xserv74, xshare74 files, but it did
    not help. Anyway, if I understand correctly, I should be
    prompted with configuration questions even before being asked for
    the location of the installation medium. So it looks like the
    installation process is not even starting.

. Would you have any suggestions on how to debug or fix this issue?

Thank you very much.
Best regards,

Jean-Baptiste
