Start by reviewing http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Intro
Focus on the physical aspects of the connection before the PC/OS
configuration stuff.
Disconnect one of the nic card cables from the switch. Try to get one card
up before the other.
Do you know if the cables you are using work on another PC? Verify that
before moving on.
What does the following command reveal?
ifconfig -a
What do these commands reveal?
cat /etc/hostname.ti0
cat /etc/hostname.ti1
