i read notice last Sat ... Mon i was in the office and updated my "toy machine" with OpenBSD ... but not all the mirrors have fetched the latest snapshot, yet. i got bad snapshot. reading the whole thread it seems the most affected brand was Dell. the "toy machine" is a Dell Vostro 470 BIOS A14. it seems the Dell BIOS reads the disks before even going into a boot selection menu. for this Dell, going to BIOS means selecting the option from the "boot selection menu". HDD with bad biosboot + USB (install66.fs) fails to bring up the boot selection menu. i had to remove the HDD data cable for the machine to get back the "boot selection menu". - rgc
