So I reinstalled again, from the same CD, just [Enter]ing the defaults, using MBR and [W]hole disk. Now my fdisk and disklabel agree on the MSDOS partition, it can be mounted, and contains an _empty_ ofwboot; the ofw boot prompt complains about loadsize=0. Suspacting my install CD, I reinstalled yet again, this time from an FTP mirror. Now there is a good MSDOS partition, there is a good ofwboot on it, and I can boot using Miod's command above (to work around the ofw's confusion about 'cd' and 'hw'). Thank you! There is another problem now though: the booting sequence ends with bootpath /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@1:/bsd root device: _ and that's where it stops, with '_' indicating the cursor. It seems the ofwboot problem is solved, but something else is wrong. What does that mean if the booting /bsd says this, instead if the usual 'root on wd0a ...'? Is there something more I need to do in ofwboot? Jan
