Can you "scroll up" at all? On a 101-key PC keyboard, this is often Shift-PageUP.

"inodes" is a keyword that tells me there is a filesystem problem of some kind, but to determine what kind, more info would be needed.

Reboot the install media, and from the shell, issue:

# fdisk wd0
# disklabel wd0

Assuming your SSD device presents itself as wd0, of course.

The fdisk command will tell us about your MBR partition table.
The disklabel command will tell us about OpenBSD partitioning, within the OpenBSD MBR partition. There are additional lines of output, but the partition information (with start/stop/size info) is what to focus on.

Assuming your OpenBSD disklabel partitions are valid, you could run fsck against them -- this will at least check that each partition has a valid and correct filesystem on it. Note: wd0b is your swap space; and wd0c is the entire physical drive, so don't bother running fsck against them.

e.g.:

fsck -p /dev/wd0a

If the -p "preen" function of fsck fails, the filesystem is either not valid, or is damaged. The latter is possible, but less likely than the former.
