OpenBSD 3.8 and Compaq iPAQ Desktop PC

Hi,

Has anyone successfully installed and used OpenBSD on the Celeron-based
Compaq iPAQ PC (they are quite old now but I'd like to reuse it as a
gateway/firewall).

At first, the install process (booting from CDROM) hung/panic-halted a few
times just after USB checks during the boot process but I persevered,
rebooted and tried again. On one occasion it then went on to successfully
run the complete install.

Now, after the installation, it dies during the boot just after the USB
checks again and I can't get past that.

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
