Just had a similar experience, had been trying OpenBSD in a vm and enjoying it. Decided to give it a fair crack on my ssd on bare metal. Used the 5.8 iso on a dvd. Went along with most of the defaults aside from keyboard uk, rebooted and got stuck in either the motherboard bios/uefi. I managed both to get stuck and also an endless bios/uefi loop.
The only way out was when I eventually opened up the box and disconnected the sata.
Now I'm running funtoo on a spare drive, can't boot with the ssd connected, and can't access it if I connect after boot from systemrescuecd or funtoo.
Hardware:
Intel 4130 Haswell
Gigabyte HD3-Z87
Crucial Tracer DDR3 4G RAM
Samsung 120GB 840 EVO
Samsiug ssd was running gpt/lvm/luks Arch install, OpenBSD attempt was plain, no encryption/lvm.
A little worried the OpenBSD install has killed my ssd, help or pointers would be appreciated.
*edit* gotta pick up a sata to usb adaptor, thanks
