      Nope seems to hang just at that point when it's writing out the install menu. Booting verbose is also no help. Google is failing me. Seems surprising no one else has hit this on other devices...

        I tried to install with 6.7-current but still the same issue. Could it be that some hardware is not supported by OpenBSD?

          For some reason the installer is hanging at that point. I have no idea why. It seems to be uncommon, I can find no other similar reports.

          Using OpenBSD on the XG-7100 is going to be pretty restricted anyway even you do get it installed. You would only be able to use the SFP ports or anything in the expansion slot.

            I also tried to install Freebsd 12.1 via the serial console. That worked like a charm after doing "set kern.vty=sc" :-)

              Yes, I would expect it to. It's odd that the OpenBSD installer freezes at that point. If there were some reason for it I would expect to see a load of similar reports on other hardware.

                Could you help me out on how to configure Marvell 88E6190? I only see ix0 ix1 ix2 ix3. They don't detect any UTP-cable.

                  In OpenBSD? I have no idea if the switch framework even exists there TBH.

                    Sorry about the confusion. I was talking about FreeBSD. I gave up on OpenBSD :-)
                    I will look in the image of the XG-7100. If I understand it correctly. I have to link the switch ports to the "behind the scene" ports.

                      Yes, but the pfSense image for the XG-7100 has a number of modifications to allow that to happen.
                      Is there some reason you cannot just use the factory image here?

                        No, I'm just trying to learn about the system and how it works.

                          Ah, OK. The internal layout is described here:
