You know what I really like about the #BSD community ? Earlier I posted about maybe trying #OpenBSD for my desktop instead of my current #FreeBSD and nobody said "No" use the other. If I'd said that about a #Linux distro I'd have had folk from all corners shouting use this distro or that. The BSD community chime in when you ask for help or when they see a way that could be better for you. I'm probably going to sent to Coventry for saying this but ah well bite me. Free speech and all. 🤣

EK :a_openbsd:

#OpenBSD peeps, help needed please- I’m trying to install 7.7 onto an older intel Macbook Pro (12,1 - 2.9Ghz i5 version). For whatever reason the installer hangs before boot after enumerating disks. I get to a boot prompt just fine and start it, but when I get to “sd0” it just hangs. Any ideas on fixing it? FWIW other things boot fine - Machine currently has Fedora 42 installed with rEFInd alongside it.

How can I troubleshoot?

While waiting for #OpenBSD 7.7 don't forget to update your 7.6 machines with the following:

014 2025-04-09 RELIABILITY Incorrect internal RRDP state handling in rpki-client can lead to a denial of service.

013 2025-04-09 SECURITY sshd(8) fix the DisableForwarding directive, which was failing to disable X11 forwarding and agent forwarding as documented.

012 2025-04-09 SECURITY iked(8) and isakmpd(8) fix double-free in ecdh mode.
