I salute you,

here it is the output of the dmesg command from a
machine where I installed OpenBSD 4.0

may be, if you have the time to explain the meaning of
some of the errors that appear durring boot process,
and the impact on the good functionality of the
system.

Thank you in advance,

Bogdan

Here it comes:
