Hi Ken, Unfortunately I cannot see your attachments.. as the lists do not permit them.
As this is a strictly a recovery operating, "ffsrv" is rumoured to work for some people on Windows.. but it probably won't help you because of the ccd(4) setup. I cannot explain the problem you're facing, but it is possible that perhaps the geometry reported by the pciide(4) driver differs from the one determined by the BIOS, confusing the boot loader. One entirely unsupported option might be to use QEMU for Windows to access the raw disks, i.e: if there are 3 drives in the computer. (Examples..) \\.\PhysicalDrive0 == Windows 2000 boot drive. \\.\PhysicalDrive1 == OpenBSD device, start of ccd(4). \\.\PhysicalDrive2 == OpenBSD drive, end of ccd(4). Create an image with qemu-img(1), hdd.img for example.. enough for OpenBSD. C:\QEMU\qemu.exe -L. -m 256 -hda hdd.img -hdb \\.\PhysicalDrive1 -hdc \\.\PhysicalDrive2 -cdrom install45.iso -boot d Now presumably you could install OpenBSD inside QEMU, baring any bugs in the emulation.. wd1/wd2 should be the 2 physical devices, and the labels you created on them should remaining, you'll simply need to setup ccd(4) inside the environment and then backup the files to your host system. However, the best option would be to simply acquire an old beige box and install OpenBSD and back up the files to another system on your network. http://ffsdrv.sf.net/ http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ http://www.freecycle.org/ HTH. -Brynet
