I now know that the boot loader sees “hd0 ….. removable” - the HDD where I installed obsd.
Boot> boot hd0a:/bsd simply starts a non-ending boot loop. So I did a “boot hd0a:/bsd.rd” to the installer. I did all the preliminaries then `mount -o ro /dev/sd1a /mnt’. Then `installboot -n -v - r /mnt sd1’. No joy!! I got back “installboot: realpath: No such file or directory”. What am I missing? TIA….. — Duke
