I should mention that booting from the CD install media works, but booting after installing the OpenBSD 4.5 OS fails.
Please help if you can. Thank you, Kenneth J. Hendrickson PS I need to get this box up with OpenBSD in order to recover some data from a ccd drive on a Pentium 266 MHz which recently failed. It was my main file server. I do not want to lose my data!!!!! PPS If I cannot get this D201GLY motherboard up with OpenBSD, I am willing to buy another motherboard, in order to get my data back. But I'd rather not have to buy another motherboard. The D201GLY will serve my purposes if only I can get it to boot!! -----Original Message----- From: Hendrickson, Kenneth Sent: Sat 7/4/2009 5:00 PM To: misc@openbsd.org; b...@openbsd.org Subject: Cannot Boot with Intel D201GLY Motherboard Cannot Boot with Intel D201GLY Motherboard Disk is 120GB PATA IDE dmesg, fdisk output, and disklabel output are all attached OpenBSD.PDR is also attached I have Googled for problems/answers, and still run into a dead end. There must be a requirement which is not stated in the documentation, which I am not following. Please help. (I am an experienced OpenBSD user, having used OpenBSD continuously since 1998, and having built my own kernels/userland, and also have built OpenBSD for embedded systems.) The instructions for booting from NTLDR (Windows 2000) do not work. As soon as the messages get to the CPU, the system reboots. Booting never works, either from the OpenBSD partition, or from NTLDR from Windows 2000. I have included my OpenBSD.PDR file for examination. Originally, my OpenBSD partition was #4 in fdisk. I added the #1 partition, and had both #1 and #4 set to "a6" for OpenBSD. That didn't work. I then chose only #1 partition to be "a6" for OpenBSD, and #4 partition was set to "da" for "No Filesystem". That also didn't work. Please note that my entire OpenBSD / filesystem is within the 1024 cylinder boundary. The /boot file is totally contained within the 1024 cylinder boundary. It still won't boot. It won't boot on its own, nor will it boot from the Windows 2000 NTLDR bootloader. Also note that while my fdisk and disklabel indicates Linux partitions, none of them have yet been installed. I installed Windows 2000 first, then OpenBSD. Since I could never get OpenBSD to boot, I have not yet installed Linux. Please help if you can. Thank you, Kenneth J. Hendrickson
