Greetings,

This is quite strange: very occassionally (perhaps a rate of 1 in 25
occasions or so?) automatic booting 3.9/i386 fails, but manually
booting via the console works. Below is the console output and other
potentially relevant information - is this faulty hardware (I suspect
it is given the problem's sporadic nature), or something else?

booting hd0a:: open hd0a:: No such file or directory
failed(2). will try /obsd
