Thank you for the information, but does it actually work for you? I have tested the latest AMD64 4.4 snapshot and while I can bring the device up and LEDs are blinking I get no response from my router. Should I try again with i386? Also, slightly unrelated, is it possible to break out of some unresponsive setup item(say ftp to openbsd.org without a connection) without leaving the setup altogether?
