Oops, sorry to have made you go through the hoops again. I discovered today that the BIOS on the mini is somewhat busted and reports the wrong interrupt for msk(4). I've got some patches to get the interrupt routing info from ACPI, but they're not quite ready yet to go in. I can send out a copy if you'd like to play with it, but that'll only work if you already have an OpenBSD installation of some sorts on the box and can compile your own kernel for it. Mark
