Hi,
i have a Digital Personal Workstation 500 and had pretty much the same
symptoms. Whenever I left the machine alone for ~15minutes it would hang,
during or after install. Workaround: press a key every few seconds,
backspace rarely does interfere with the installer or login screen.
For the moment I have given up on it, I read that the alpha port had
maintainer at the time and that with my chipset there were some known
problems resulting in a hang.
Sorry, can't provide more details.
Matthias

Hi all (and sorry for my english mistakes),
I'm newbie into Alpha, and more or less newbie into *BSD, and two days
ago I decided to install openBSD 3.4 in a $subject machine :P
I started installation, and that was a really hard job, because progress
hanged up randomly. But I think that it was caused because I was doing
other things at the same time, and some kind of idle may disturb the
process. When I put all my time on that, installation was successful.
When that was complete, I prepared to my first openBSD boot with Alpha.
SRM loaded correctly, and then ">>> boot dka0" initialized openBSD's
boot. After 25 or 35 info lines more or less, I obtained a "panic:
machine check" message. [1]
Machine is a DEC Alphaserver 1000A 5/400, Alpha 400MHz monoprocessor,
DECchip21140-AA, with two hard drives RZ28M (2 Gb SCSI 5000 rpm), one S3
Trio64/Trio32 (S3 765 2MB), one RAID controller Mylex DAC960/Digital
SWXCR-EX, one SCSI host adapter QLogic ISP1020, one ethernet device (DEC
DE500 Fast Etherworks PCI 10/100), one SCSI tape device (DEC TLZ09) and
one SCSI cd-rom with model undetermined :)
Thanks by advance with your help !
