Re: "How sucky is OpenBSD installation for the first time? I..."
but surely a 2008 laptop should run the Radeon(4) driver?? I think amdgpu(4) is for newer cards.

Yeah, in the end I did, but still couldn’t get it to work. I couldn’t get it to run X11. FreeBSD seems to work as long as I do not enable the radeon drivers. I think Video Ram is toast on the card.
How sucky is OpenBSD installation for the first time? I managed to boot up my old laptop (An 1.8ghz Acer from 2008-ish?), and I thought I’d give OpenBSD a crack on it. What do I need to be looking out for, coming from a MacOS / Linux background?
