Hi,
I have run into a deadend trying to understand, and troubleshoot this
problem. Hence, I would like some pointers. Following is what I did to
get my OpenBSD system running, and then subsequently messing it up (in
sequence):
(1) Installed OpenBSD/i386 on my Thinkpad X201, and built -current.
Did reserve ~140G for Windows, and then installed OpenBSD as described
in FAQ. Things were fine for a couple of months.
(2) Installed Windows XP ghost image to the first partition. Sadly,
ntldr was not installed so machine still booted directly into OpenBSD
(3) Installed grub. Here is what /grub/menu.lst looks like:
default 0 timeout 5
title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title OpenBSD
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
(4) grub started fine, and Windows XP boots fine, but when I try to
boot OpenBSD, I get something like this:
Loading...
probing: <<additional details>>
disk: fd0 hd0+*
>> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.13
open(hd0a:/etc/boot.conf): Invalid argument
boot>
booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument
failed(22). will try ...
And OpenBSD never boots. I don't recall changing anything else. From
what I know (very little), biosboot was able to load the 2nd stage
bootloader, but it now failed loading the kernel image.
I can boot successfully into OpenBSD using a 4.8 boot CD though. I
tried running installboot again (mindlessly!), and get this error:
