Did something change in 65/66?
The last version that worked on some of my laptops was 64, 65 didn't even load to the installer, if I remember right, same with 66, so I'm thinking maybe some kind of support has maybe been removed(?).
(I've tried 66 on my old Acer & my old Toshiba, & I know I used to have 64 running on my Acer before.) It's not a show stopper for me personally, as I use mainly Linux & just keep my hand in with BSD, just strange that it wouldn't run on a machine that used to work with OpenBSD before.

Sorry, jggmi, I no longer have any installation of OpenBSD at the moment.
I was just wondering what might have changed to cause a pre working laptop to fail. I'm not knowledgeable enough to really know the differences between releases, but there don't seem to have been anything removed of any consequence.

Some of my older systems will not boot the usb installer but will boot/install from a cdrom or floppy. PXE install would also be another option.
Also check the BIOS. Depending on the Vendor, some settings will disable legacy usb devices during boot. |

I have Linux installed on it as of now; & it was never a problem to install to it before '65' - it's just odd.
