Dammit, s/BIOS/biosboot/. Plain dumb error. I meant the first stage bootloader. I doubt that I made a mistake due to a second install where it behaved exactly the same way (not to say that I couldn't err a second time =). > Personally, I consider it an installer bug.

No, I boot as if OpenBSD was on the first partition through setting the boot-flag active on this partition. I hardly use the other ones. I suspect that biosboot just gets installed at the wrong location if you don't set the active partition the right way at install time. But I will try to confirm that as soon as possible. /Markus
