I've installed OpenBSD on this hardware in the past by writing the bsd.rd image to the swap partition of a previous release of OpenBSD or Solaris. Unfortunately I mangled the installation messing with softraid and need to reinstall. I think I understand the network installation process but when loading the bsd.rd image via nfs it dies with the error message: "short write".
I've tried bsd.rd from 4.8 and the snapshot with the same results. I get the same results doing a network install on a Sun Fire V100. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
