I have an old iMac G5 on which I'd like to install OpenBSD 5.5 as that's the latest system I purchased.
the CD drive doesn't work so I started it up in target mode and reformatted the internal HD from another mac. The shrunk the partition to 10Gb and copied all the relevant files from the dvd set. Doing an ofwboot I get notifications of usb timing out and then wd0 timing out. The bsd.rd hangs when listing softraid, a few messages later. I tested the disk and verified it using Disk Utility from the other mac. Am I correct in stating that the drive is connected via sata? Is this supported at 5.5? Should I forfeit or am I missing something stupid? I transcribed the following, hope I got it right: wd0(pciide 0:0:0): timeout   type: ata   c_bcount: 512   c_skip: 0 wd0 atpciide0   channel 0   drive 0: <ST3500320AS> wd0 (pciide 0:0:0):   using pio mode 4, ultraDMA mode 6 pciide0: port 1:PHY offline wdc0 at kauaiata0 irq 38:DMA â¦
