Default garbage in display during install

Hi,
I have an OpenBSD 3.3 install on another box, and really like this OS.

I am having troubles with OpenBSD 3.5 install on another boxen.

The problem is that in the very first stages of /install/
the video buffer seems to overflow and I get screenfull of garbage.
I am actually still able to complete the install to some degree,
but I am still wrestling with disklabel and it's really taxing
dealing with this app and the crap on screen at the same time.

I am reading up on disklabel and fdisk and will get my HD set-up,
I just don't need this other problem.

The dmesg lines for video are:

vga1 Matrox 1064SG 220MHz rev 0x03
wsdisplay0 at vga1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)

Does this sound familiar to anyone, or anyone know of a workaround.
Maybe this is a bug in 3.5?

thanks in advance.
Nick
