How exactly did you "mirrored my HDD" ? If you are attempting to use some kind of "disk imaging" tool, then the answer is you've hosed your disk. If you didn't user dump/restore, then you've caused yourself many problems and you're now trying to access a messed up disk. Just pulling a drive out of one system and stuffing it into another will only work if the two systems/bioses identify the disk geometry in the exact same way. If there are differences in the disk geometry reported by the two systems, then it's just a matter of time before the disk is hosed. Try doing a default install, booting from the installation diskette or cdrom (or netbood) and completely refdisk, repartition and reformat the drive from scratch (using the whole disk for OpenBSD). Unless you happen to be dealing with a failing hard drive, your problems will most likely go away. jcr
