For example,
Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 6.2 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell?
takes two or three minutes to appear if I do nothing, but if I type
space or
backspace, I get, progressively with each keystroke:
(I)nstall,
(I)nstall, (U)pgra
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or
and so on.
This is a known issue, and it's worse on AMD CPUs. It's been a known
issue for
a long time but I've been continually distracted by other things. I'll
try
to get to it after I fix the EPT misconfiguration issue.

Thank-you!

For my VM, at least, SSH sessions are similarly problematic, unlike the
above report..
As a workaround to the pausing, it seems (sample size: 2) that
port-scanning and pinging the VM during autoinstall helps the odds of
completion a bit. Otherwise the install script times out fetching one
of the tgz files.
