umount at boot possible?

Hello I have a separate disk that i was mounting as a nfs partition. That disk crashed (it was very old). Now that OpenBSD 6.7/i386 release system cannot boot because it can't mount the disk. Is it possible to umount the partition or somehow skip mounting it at boot time and continue booting

OpenBSD site

I was wondering how you maintain and update such high quality content in OpenBSD's site. Do you manually edit html files, use a cms, or something else? I am asking to shamelessly copy your best practices. ;-) Thanks, Nick

Re: Thinkpad X220, can't control screen brightness via keyboard

My original mail was after a clean OpenBSD 6.0 installation. After installing a load of packages and doing what Henrik said, brightness shortcuts now work. I really don't know what did the trick because i hadn't read the replies to my email and didn't notice if the brightness control came up

Thinkpad X220, can't control screen brightness via keyboard

To be more precise, i can't control screen brightness by pressing Fn + Home (increase) or Fn + End (decrease). These are thinkpad's shortcuts for controlling brightness. Controlling brightness by command line works. The shortcuts worked in OpenBSD 5.9. Dmesg: OpenBSD 6.0 (RAMDISK_CD) #2100:

Firefox becomes non-responsive for a small amount of time when viewing large (wallpaper sized) jpg images. In OpenBSD 5.4 firefox would block for several seconds. In OpenBSD 5.5 the situation improved considerably but it's still not perfect. The lag persists for a very short but visible amount
