It's awkward because I'm answering on a Linux box. Basically, I get to the OpenBSD boot prompt and 4-5 seconds later it tries to boot, chokes, tries again, chokes, on and on. I then squeezed in an `ls' to have it stop cycling like that. Tried boot /bsd.rd and I think that the command that got me to of all things the Install/Upgrade/etc/etc menu like I was installing all over again. I hit reboot, went into my BIOS, selected my Linux drive and called it a flop! I would have to boot OpenBSD again to get the exact details/msgs. At the boot prompt, is there a command available to list the devices that OpenBSD sees to boot from. I'm thinking I could do something like: `boot hd1a:bsd.rd -- Duke
