Default USB Hub Shuts Off During Boot of USB Thumb Drive Installation Media

Edit - subsequently realized that something during the boot process of the live USB stick was causing my USB hub to stop working. This has never happenned with numerous other OS installs. Any advice on how to resolve that?

Hello,

My computer froze while installing openBSD from a USB stick.

The boot messages finished and I was at the welcome to the installer lines. I tried to type "I" for (I)nstall but nothing happened even after waiting a few minutes. The "I" that I typed didn't even appear on the screen.

I had burned the image install60.fs to USB stick using linux dd command.

I tried again, downloading and burning the image using a different mirror and computer to make the USB. Same thing happened

My computer is an Intel Compute Stick 64 bit system on a chip, Intel Atom z3735f quad core processor, eMMC internal drive, UEFI boot only.

What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks!
Joe
