i have an ultra 5 (440mhz/512mb/14.4GB IDE) with OpenBSD 4.0 installed. i
never really had any problems with the machine for some months until earlier
today.
i couldn't access the machine so i connected through the serial port to find
the machine stuck on the "ok" prompt.
when i tried forcing a boot (boot disk) this is what I got:
-------
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED],0 File and args: -r
OpenBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock 1.1
..Program terminated

when i tried a "reset" on the "ok" prompt i got the following:
----
Resetting ...
Data Access Error

i really don't know where to begin. what could have gone wrong with the
system? is this something that indicates a hardware issue, or has something
happened to the 4.0 installation?
Sounds like a hardware error. Try replacing the dive, load it, and see
what happens. If you can't boot the install CD, then I would say you
have other issues.
