Failed install on net6501-70

Just got a net6501-70 with a 16G Transcend mSATA, installing OpenBSD 5.1 via
tftp. All goes well , including BIOS detection of a Hard Drive at Port-00,
until:

boot>
booting tftp:bsd [etc.]
entry point at 0x200120
?

Just before the ? the hard drive light flashes several times. Afterwards,
everything locks up. Looks like OpenBSD isn't detecting the mSATA. Anything I
can do to diagnose this?

Hello Jeff,

I observe the same behavior if the tty is set to pc0.
Just change it to com0 with the following commands at 'boot>' prompt:

boot> stty com0 19200
boot> set tty com0

You might also need to fix it in /etc/boot.conf .

Regards,
William
