I don't have the 3.5 release installed on my blade 100 yet (it's now
running Solaris again) but I had no problems with an earlier release of
OpenBSD. I realise this doesn't help you that much, but I assume that if
an earlier release works just fine the 3.5 should too.

What are the eeprom settings for input/output device (just to make sure)?
