I am not using an initrd with the OpenBSD install. That may be the difference. As far as I can tell, OpenBSD boots on this box just as well as it does on Intel boxes I have used in the past. I don't notice any unusual delays in giving control to OpenBSD's bootloader nor in the boot process itself. > > Are you saying you need the network driver because you're doing a net > > install?

Hopefully someone can point me to a full USB installer with a recent kernel that is designed to work on the Fuloong. If not I guess I will look for another distro next week after to waiting to see if anyone has any other info to add.
