If the machine doesn't continue to boot after leaving the UKC,
there must be no mountable, writable media available for the UKC to write the /bsd.new file. (Or no recognized drive devices on the IDE channel)
Is(are) the drive(s) specified as type "auto" in the BIOS?
What is your...
In that case, do this-
Create a file called /etc/myroutes. In this file, place all of your static routes. Put them in the form:
gateway network/netmask
eg.
10.0.0.1 10.0.3.0/24
10.0.0.1 10.0.5.0/25
Load up /etc/netstart in vi. Add the following code to handle the static routes contained...

Ok. Have you opened up the server yet?
Dell ships the poweredge with the hard drives attached to the third IDE controller. Windows doesn't mind this, but *nix chokes on it.
Open the case, and verifiy that your hard drives are jumpered to master/slave configuration on the primary IDE...

Otherwise, you may need to change the configuration of the device with the UKC (User Kernel Configurator)
at the boot> prompt, enter '-c',
and you'll drop into the UKC.

I answered my own question. The fix was simple.
The hard drives were jumpered to "cable select",
and the cdrom drive was "cable select" on the third IDE controller. I set the hard drives in a master/slave config,
changed the cdrom to be the secondary master, and she booted...
I've got a new Dell PowerEdge 600SC-
2.4ghz P4, two 40gig IDE's
with a ServerWorks CMIC_SL Host board.
Every attempt to boot OpenBSD 3.2 or 3.3 ends with:

After this, any key pressed results in a reboot of the system. I...
