Greetings:

I've contacted bugs@openbsd.org... From what I can tell, getting the dmesg is pretty ideal for a panicking machine.

I understand the FAQs at openbsd.org address means of recording dmesg; and one bugs administrator commented that an USB Section may be appropriate.

I took a gander at the install disc; and I noticed all the xx0x entities on /dev. Since it can read attached devices (one external USB Flash Drive as "sd1") - is there a way we can mount a usb drive to save dmesg to (e.g, a .txt file per the FAQ example for the floppy)?

I'll need someone with a good grasp of mountpoints to help me out here - I keep getting "device not configured" whenever I try to copy over, mkdir, etc. an sd1x entity and mount the sd1 on the install disc's /dev directory

Pardon the ignorance; but I'm a front end guy, not a Sysadmin ^_^ Handwriting panic, trace, and ps was my good deed of the day...ROTFL!
