[Soekris] Soekris net5501-70 : OpenBSD 4.3, cannot register compatflash wd0 as root device

[DarkSoul]

Hello,

I just tried installing OpenBSD 4.3 on my Soekris, using a 2G Compact 
Flash card (which is detected by bsd.rd kernel fine since I can install 
on it), and the problem I have is that a 4.3 kernel does detect wd0 but 
does not make it available as root device option.

This is the boot trace on a OpenBSD 4.3 kernel :
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <SanDisk SDCFH2-002G>
wd0: 4-sector PIO, LBA, 1953MB, 4001760 sectors
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2
<...SNIP...>
softraid0 at root
root device: wd0a
use one of: exit
root device: exit

I have tested an OpenBSD 4.2 kernel, and while the system does not 
completely boot because of obvious userland incompatibility, it does 
register wd0a as boot device and proceed to booting.

I have been told deactivating ACPI during kernel configuration (using 
"boot /bsd -c" followed by "disable acpi") would change something, but 
to no avail so far.

Is this a misconfiguration error for the 4.3 kernel, or a setting I 
forgot to apply, or a bug?

If needed, I am willing to downgrade to OpenBSD 4.2, but I would 
appreciate any input on this problem if anyone also encountered it, 
before giving up.

Thanks in advance,
