Hello,
I am trying to boot OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64) from an SD memory card on my Macbook
Air (most recent model).
When I boot from the SD card (both bsd and bsd.mp) the boot process hangs at
“root device: “
The SSD drive in the machine is identified as sd0 upon boot. The OpenBSD boot
loader

Note: I would like to provide a dmesg, but am not sure how to do this
when the system cannot boot successfully.
I took a photo of the boot screen with my phone, which is shown here:

I have just installed OpenBSD 5.5 on ibook G3 12'' 800Mhz.
My problem is italian keyboard layout.
$ wsconsctl encoding=it
wsconsctl: encoding it: no such variable
I don't understand why, on i386 and amd64 works well, I have problems only on
macppc arch.
Many thanks.

I think this should be 'keyboard.encoding', not just 'encoding'.

Several systems need a newer version of OpenBSD. Systems are Alix 2d with
an AMD Geode, a bit dated but it works.
Current systems run OpenBSD 4.4 and the hardware acceleration via glxsb
works perfectly:
# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev

To get the most

Is `sysctl kern.usercrypto` enabled?
Thanks Sime,
yes setting kern.usercrypto=1 did the trick. Apparently in OpenBSD 4.4 that
was enabled by default and this was changed in a later release.
# sysctl kern.usercrypto=1
kern.usercrypto: 0 - 1

Yes, set encoding to e.g. US. Modify keyboard.map with wsconsctl as shown
by the man page. Do it as a script so you can redo it when ever needed.
wsconsctl keyboard.map will show the current map.

Lastly, I will remind you that the fastest OS compared to OpenBSD
is very likely less than 15%. Say its 25% even, and you could get
faster hardware to accomedate that.
Come on, that is a false assertion. OpenBSD does have its warts, like
everybody else out there. They are different warts
